+A playlist is a collection of tracks that can be prepared in advance and then
+played as a unit.
+Playlists come in three kinds:
+.TP
+.B shared
+A playlist that anyone can edit.
+These are not owned by any user.
+.TP
+.B public
+A playlist that only one user (its owner) can edit,
+but that anyone can see the contents of.
+.TP
+.B private
+A playlist that is entirely private to one user.
+.PP
+Public and private playlists start with the owner's username.
+.PP
+The left side of the playlist window is a list of all playlists that you can
+see: all shared and public playlists plus your private playlists.
+Selecting one will bring it up in the right hand side of the window,
+allowing it to be reviewed or edited.
+You can drag tracks from the choose tab in the main window into it and
+rearrange tracks already in the playlist by selecting and dragging them.
+.PP
+The add button creates a new playlist.
+You must selected whether it will be a shared, public or private playlist.
+.PP
+At the bottom of the window are radio buttons showing which kind of playlist it
+is.
+If you own the playlist you can use these to switch it between public and
+private, but if it is shared or owned by someone else these buttons will be
+greyed out.
