I just opened Plex on my Shield, and I see two smart playlists on my home page that I didn’t create, and weren’t there earlier today.

They’re labeled `❤️ Tracks` and `Fresh ❤️`, and they’re empty of tracks.

I _really dislike_ stuff being added to my libraries without my explicit consent.

I’m actually VERY surprised that you’re experiencing this so late since it’s been a “thing” since 2021 at the earliest. I don’t know the mechanics behind why your instance of the server or PlexAmp kicked it into drive but these Playlists were thought to have been helpful for new users to springboard from. I can only guess that Elan took it into consideration when building out PlexAmp. I instantly deleted them and carried on. Done. No biggie.

> Hi @TheDetective, These two playlists are Smart Playlists that Plexamp generates on your behalf (if you choose to) during its initial setup process. You can either create them yourself manually by filtering your library and saving it as a Smart Playlist, or you can sign out and back into Plexamp, and have it do the work for you!

I don’t use PlexAmp much, but I did sign out and back into it yesterday, so that’s probably when it happened. I didn’t see any prompt or indication of it, though.
