Good for me:

$ positron new-playlist playlistname playlistfilename

maybe even...

$ positron create-playlist playlistnmae file1 file2 file3 ...

In both cases it would seem important to know what the filenames will be
relative too, the logical form  would be from the Neuros mount point
(from root, but on the mountpoint).  There could always be a
tool/command for converting playlists from the syncpoint to the neuros
dir.

For the playlist, m3u/pls files could work. Is there a plan to add the
all-the-possible-music-files-in-my-computer playlist?

I guess it should be kept in mind that with the simple functionality a
more complex tool could always be built on top.

$ positron list-playlists
$ positron cat-playlist
$ positron del-playlist

would also necessary in some form.

In my case I would like to have lists for different occasion, party,
car, easy listening, lab, etc. (20G version).   For the 128M version I
guess it would be more beneficial to be able to load different
"configurations", i.e. jogging set 1, gym set 2, aerobics set 4, etc.
This could potentially be managed by a playlist consisting of the songs
you want to load.  With the correct primitives (which should be already
there), this can be delegated to a higher level tool too.
