Editing an Album or Playlist

The maximum number of songs in each of the six 
user playlists is 999. Adding new songs overwrites 
the oldest songs.

The maximum number of original playlists is 999 with 
a maximum of 99 songs in each playlist.

Each album CD counts as an original playlist. Adding 
a track from a user playlist into the same user playlist 
will cause the track to appear twice in the playlist.

Deleting an album (original playlist) also deletes the 
album tracks you have stored in any user playlists.

Deleting a user playlist or deleting all tracks from a 
user playlist does not remove the playlist folder.
The folder retains the playlist name and artist 
information.
