Once a manual edit has taken place, I'd expect it to be treated like "an
explicit list of files."

Meanwhile, if I've told my player "play for me all my Ozzy Osbourne
tracks" and made no manual changes, I'd expect it to change what's in
the list based on what's available on the player.

This is, sorta, a difference between database playback and file based
playback, to me. I'd expect a database playlist to be a query result
until manually changed, while I think I lean more to one generated from
a folder staying an explicit list (thus not changing even if folder
contents change).
