Just found a little tutorial on Youtube about the playlist creation:
Nokia N900: How to create playlists in the music player application
Although it does not make it more usable ...

At the moment you can only create 1 playlist at a time, and not add ANYTHING once the playlist has been created - how amazingly counter intuitive.
First read:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=22
Then post a clear specification for an alternative playlist editor.
P.S. I won't accept the term "intuitive interface" as a specification.
This would be pathetically easy for Nokia to have implemented. For it not to have been after all this time shows what lack of thought Nokia put in to Maemo 5.
THIS functionality would transform the N900 in my eyes - this or the ability to sync playlists to the Nokia music application.

What you can measure is how fast you can add a song to a certain playlist.

To configure a certain playlist before you add the song would be a nice feature too.
The plus and the minus signs at the side of each song. That would make it much faster - instead you have to wait 2 seconds on the N900 for the drop down menu to add or remove a song to/from the playlist.
But you cannot simply add a plus or minus sign to the media player.
@Nokia: PUBLISH THE SOURCE CODE OF THE MEDIAPLAYER !
By the way, Listenial costs 3$ in Apples Appstore
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/liste...347874311?mt=8
Apple knows how to make money ...
Maybe, I should work for $Apple$ ...
Just kidding
But I also don't like Nokias closed source components.
