I can’t work out how to remove a song from a playlist in Plex Amp on macos.  
Right clicking or using the ellipsis button just gives the following options:  
Play, Play next, add to queue, add to…, Got to album, Go to Artist, Share link…  
Any tips appreciated.

Click the item you want to delete and while clicking, swipe to the left.  
You should then see the red `Remove` button to click (or continue swiping to the left to delete the entry).

If the playlist is a “smart” playlist (i.e. it has been constructed from _filtering_ the library), you can’t remove or add tracks. You can only change the filter rule(s) from which the playlist is built.

You can, however, feed the contents of the smart playlist into a “dumb” playlist. Which then enables you to add or remove manually, if wanted.
