Okay, I was playing with it and it works as you indicated.  drag-n-dropping
the files into a directory does copy the files.  So thats kind of cool.
But it's somewhat non-intuitive to me.  I'd like to see feedback from RB
users on whether they find this intuitive.  

Personally, adding an export option into a the playlist section might be
good option.  It doesn't increase the number of operations by too much.
Currently we have:

Save
Delete
Rename
Load
New

I don't think it would increase it by too much.  Also, we could consolidate
the new->playlist new->smart playlist possibly.

As for the smart playlist.  Are we going to use the framework that was put
on the mailing list a couple of months ago?  I think a lot of people liked
it.  Otherwise is there some other approach I don't know about?
