The tree view lists playlists by name. A closed playlist containing music files displays a plus sign [+] to the left of the name. If the playlist is empty, the plus sign is not displayed. Clicking the plus sign opens the playlist to display its contents. When opened, a minus sign is dis- played to the left of the playlist name. Clicking the minus sign collapses or closes the playlist.
