Thanks for the suggestion. I apologize for not including “Not an Apple Product” in the question - I tend to take that too much for granted 
The problem with creating (M3U) playlists is that it seems much too complex a process, at least from the little research I did before the “upgrade”. I’d have to write something to scan the tracks for things like running time in seconds. And ID3 tags really don’t seem meaningful for anything other than popular music.
