However, deleting a track in this view removes it from the library, rather than as is desired from the iPod playlist.
If you have the ipod playlist in a playlist group, and you use that playlist group as the first pane in your view scheme, you can use tagging mode (press F4) to remove a file from the playlist.
Simply select the file(s) you want to remove, then remove the tick from the tagging mode tickbox by clicking on it, and you're done, the files will be removed from the playlist.
If you add a second smartlist to that playlist group that includes all music, but excludes the contents of the ipod playlist, you can then select that entry in the pane, then select files from this list and then place a tick in ipod playlist tagging mode tickbox to add those files to the ipod playlist.
