Creating A Music Playlist Using Already Existing Music Playlist

I would really, really like to be able to create other music playlists using playlists I’ve already created, but there is no option to do so, only the option to delete chunks of music from a playlist.

What I would like to be able to do is isolate sections of one playlist to create other playlists…for example, if I made a huge mix using large chunks of a certain bands catalog, I could make a playlist of JUST that band.

I realized as I was making a huge metal playlist, that the songs I was choosing from certain bands would be perfect for playlists of JUST that band. Instead, I have to go through a bands entire catalog all over again in order to create a playlist for just that band, and that is, well, very nerve-racking and time consuming. Adding an, “Add to New Playlist” feature would streamline that process considerably!

Does that make any sense? If not, I included a screenshot of exactly what I was thinking…hope it helps!

PLEASE add that feature! It would totally make things soooo much easier, and save me OODLES of time!
