But its not a playlist is it? A playlist plays items in sequence. You are treating it as a collection of favourites. Why should the developers (Michael) code for an unintended use when favourites does exactly what you want - albeit you might have to manually create them if you want a station in 2 or more places? Im sure Michael has a long list of development ideas that would rank ahead of this.
