The idea was to have My Playlists represent the directory specified, and 
then as another sub-item of My Playlists have Other Playlists which would 
hold all the playlists not in the directory, but in the database. This is 
really just an arbitary way of representing the two, as it were, seperate 
sources for playlists. I just wanted to provide a distinction between 
those playlists in the directory and those in someother location.

There is no real reason why you couldn't just append the playlists in the 
database to the list of playlists in the directory in one long list. 
Obviously you'd still have the groups for the playlists in 
sub-directories. Would that be a preferable way of going about this?

To be honest, I hadn't really considered the nested playlist aspect of 
this, it was just a way of organizing a collection of playlists. Adding 
all sub playlists does seem the most sensible way of handling that, I 
can't think of doing anything else apart from adding nothing.
