Hi all,
I spend a lot of time making the dynamic playlist easier to understand without 
loosing (much) functionality.

The changes since the last review are:
1. added a SearchBias where you can use a normal search query to filter your 
songs. Just like in the filter.
2. Use a normal tree view without much fancy widgets in it. This makes the 
playlist much easier to understand. See screenshot:

3. preventing duplicates is no a global switch. No additional bias or setting 
needed
4. The "not" bias is not longer there. Instead we have a "invert" flag for the 
only bias where it makes sense. The SearchBias has this functionality already.
5. Drag and drop should work. So you can re-order a bias or a playlist by 
simply dragging it.
6. There are four default playlists from very simple to moderately complex 
showing a novice user what you can do.

So, please have a look at the dynamicplaylist branch and give me your feedback.

- Ralf
