My idea was actually for an unlimited number of playlists (OK.. some very
large number) by punching a number value and hitting enter when done. That
way we can many more playlists and base them on numbers that are easier
for humans to remember. (ie 666<ENTER> could fire up my NIN playlists,
54<ENTER> could fire up some disco, 42<ENTER> some deep-thinking ambient
stuff, 69<ENTER> some romantic tunes... etc. Maybe a friends phone number
could be used to store a playlist of their favorites, etc)
Allows for the potential of secret playlists as well.

When you start punching the numbers it could show you what you were
typing in as you went:

Playlist: 66_


It could cancel the playlist sesection if 5 seconds pass since the last
number entry and ENTER hasn't been pressed yet or any other button is
pressed (which would cause that other thing to happen instead).

Too bad about TV/VIDEO not working with the codes, and nobody likes my
"play" button idea... oh well. Something else then I guess.

But could we call it the "Play Mode" button and provide for:

	Normal (defined as the default: play track/list and stop)
	Repeat One (repeat current track)
	Repeat All (repeat current "playlist", be it album, custom list, etc)
	Play Rest (also play the rest of the stuff in the current dir and
stop)
	Randomize (if in "playlist" of some sort)
