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.
Playlists can be created using items from any music finder view. This means that you can cre- ate playlists of music by type, artist, composer, album or track.
