CRITICAL — Use library tabs, not Browse

• For ALL playlist operations, use the Audio or Video library tabs. NEVER use Browse — multi-select does not work there.

Playlists

• Audio: Audio tab → Playlists → create new.
• Video: Video tab → long-press files to select → overflow → "Add to playlist" → create new when prompted.
• If videos are grouped ("Video group: …, N videos"), ungroup first: overflow → Group videos → Do not group videos.

Adding Files

• Do NOT use search — search results may auto-play on tap. Scroll the library list instead.
• VLC preserves selection order as playlist track order. If the goal specifies an order, select in that order.
• Multiple playlists: work one at a time. Scroll to the top before starting each new selection.

Safety

DANGEROUS -- ask user before:

• Deleting playlists or media files
• Removing items from existing playlists

SAFE -- proceed normally:

• Creating new playlists and adding files
• Playing audio/video
• Browsing the media library
