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
