Couple thing's I've noticed:
-- Letter keys jump to tracks in Tree, but keys such as "D" have been
re-assigned to delete item
-- No way to delete a playlist?
-- Duplicate playlist names do not overwrite the old with same name, but
make a new playlist with the same name.
-- Doesn't save list to database when exiting Select Music?
-- Any way to rename a playlist?

Cheers though, good work =)
