Ah. This helps a lot. I've been on "random play unplayed" for over a
year :).

So now that I've been making a few playlists to keep handy, is there a
way to add stuff to an existing playlist? It looks like
DatabaseBox::copyNewPlaylist doesn't want to let you enter the name of
an existing playlist, and I don't see anything else, so I suspect
playlists, once created, are immutable ?
