Well that sounds like the program creates a 'new playlist record' when 
you commence creating it, but holds the data in memory (in case you edit 
or add to the list) until you exit, at which point it REALLY knows that 
you will not be editing further.... Maybe the logic should be writing 
the list out as soon as a selection is made. Although I can see that it 
would make editing more difficult. But as set up it is not fail safe as 
it should be.
