You don't have to delete manually as the existing playlist is deleted
automatically when you call the menu item again.

Maybe I'll add some way for automagic updates on export as I'm missing this
feature as well. On the other hand, I'm planning on implementing smart
playlists a la itunes soon, which could make the entire menu item <Create
Playlist> obsolete.

ctrl-i (or use the menu item View->something).

No -- too much hazzle. But this also should be obsoleted by smart playlists.

Then how did you get your 4G to run under Linux? I tried but the HD was
blank and I needed to install iTunes in order to have it formatted.

Please repsond to the list. If you have subscribed to the list, let me know
