I have a ton of playlists, and it is really hard for me to keep track of them. I have implemented my own naming scheme where I create top level nodes like Party Songs, Driving Songs, Workout Songs, Ski Songs, etc., and then have a bunch of playlists in each category. It gets unwieldy to have a long description of the playlist in the playlist name, so I keep the playlist names short, but find I often can't remember the specifics of each playlist.
I would love to see a Description field added so that I could add more text describing the playlist to allow me to keep track of them better.
Suggestion:
When creating a playlist, optionally allow you to add a description. If you hovered over the playlist name in the media tree, the description text would appear. You could add a right click on the context menu to allow editing of the description. And the description could be written in .M3U comments when the playlist is exported.

Re: Playlist Description
Hi,
It is something that we are discussing internally ATM but not yet decided how to implement.
I would say we need to leave something for the future versions of MM 5
Joke aside, is there any other place where you think we can add more descriptions?

Re: Playlist Description
Offhand I can't.
I initially thought maybe around devices, since in MM4 all the devices showed without their friendly name, but instead things like Samsung SM-G965U11, etc, I sync'd a bunch of music to the devices my family had, and I spent a lot of trial and error guessing which was my phone, my wife's phone, etc. But I just looked at this in MM5, and I see that you can right click on the devices and rename them which should address this issue.

Re: Playlist Description
I think that a description property would be also useful for items in the "pinned" collection, ie. reason why it was pinned. ... ToDo notes, listening notes etc, or usage steps where it is a location that has been pinned. ... and It would be good if any non-blank description was displayed in the hover tooltip.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
Re: Playlist Description
I second what MikeGahrns suggested! I really need the option to add descriptions to my playlists to keep my sanity Is there any update on this?
