[SmoothOperator]

I just loaded songs on my device and I was sorting them out by creating playlists. However, before creating a new one my Blackberry prompts me to select either Standard or Automatic playlist. What's the difference? Please define in terms other than "Standard" or "Automatic."

About playlists
You can create both standard and automatic playlists for songs. You create a standard playlist by manually adding songs that are on your
BlackBerry® device. You create an automatic playlist by specifying criteria for artists, albums, or genres of songs. When you add a song
to your device that meets the criteria, your device adds it to the playlist automatically. An indicator appears beside automatic playlists in
your list of playlists.
