Meaning, pretty much what the existing playlist editor does? =)  Scrolling 
through a single list of thousands of items, even with pageup/pagedown just 
doesn't work.

Personally, I don't really see what this 'new interface' brings except for 
clutter on screen.  The playlist editor interface can do all this in a much 
cleaner manner.
