I expect that Aaron's careful attention to not cluttering the
interface might encourage the burying of this sort of a button in the
same details tab you already have to go to. It would save you a couple
clicks though and I could see myself using it on occasion.

There is an enhancement request in bugzilla to be able to sync
playlists to DAPs. Would this do what you are looking for with your
Muvo?

Also, would soft links be copied correctly or would there have to be 2
exact copies of each song? One in the library and the other in the
playlist.
