Just curious about what kind of playlists you make? I made genre playlists (boring, like "Country" and "Classical") back when I first got iTunes and I've not made any since! Your thankfulness for playlists just reminded me I never make them, ha ha!

I don't have a ton of playlists, but over the last few months I've gotten into making them for things I am struggling with--choosing songs whose lyrics speak to where my heart is, and putting them together so I can have it playing and be preaching truth to my heart when I am unable/unwilling to preach truth to myself otherwise. I had one in February that was super helpful and just put another one together a week or two ago.

otherwise I don't have a ton - one for the boys' silly-song music, one of Scripture memory songs, a couple of Sovereign Grace ones, a "worship music" one... I also usually have a "new music" one because when I buy new songs or albums, I have a tendency to want to listen to them on repeat a zillion times until I know all the songs :)

Very cool idea, about putting together songs for an area you're struggling with. I like that!
