“Read-only” playlist is [Smart playlist](https://forums.plex.tv/t/smart-playlist-creation-help/193054/2). Which is based on a custom filter. When you’re done configuring the filter, you can add it as a playlist. This playlist will be dynamic and automatically adjusted based on the filter. Ex. “Most played tracks”.
