Playlist

A dockable queue that shows what's playing, saves to standard M3U, and steps between the playlists in a folder.

Working the list

Toggle it with ⌘L or the PL button.
Double-click a row to play it.
Select many rows with ⇧-click / ⌘-click, then remove them with ⌫ or the right-click menu.
ADD opens files; CLEAR empties the list.

Dock and detach

The playlist starts docked to the player's edge and the two move as one window. Drag the playlist away to detach it; drop it back against the player and it snaps into place again.

Playlist files (M3U / PLS)

LOAD (or just open an .m3u / .m3u8 / .pls file) imports a playlist.
SAVE writes the current queue as an Apple-Music-compatible .m3u8. The saved file becomes the list's name in the header.
When the loaded playlist's folder holds other playlists, the ‹ › buttons in the header jump to the previous / next one — instant crate switching.

Tracks won't play after loading a playlist file? macOS only lets MACSONG read music you've opened or dragged in yourself at least once — a playlist file may point at tracks you haven't. The one-time fix takes seconds: Which files MACSONG can see.
