Playlist titles?

What about the idea of displaying the saved playlist name on the main playback window, somewhere - maybe scrolling under the Album/Track/Artist corner where there's some empty space? I've added an attachment to show what I'm attempting to express my meaning.

I was thinking about that as I put together some tracks pulled off my media server and named the playlist 'Bit of Everything.' A month from now, I won't remember that name even if I can pull it up on the Browse By Folders screen. To be honest, a few hours from now I won't remember it, but that's beside the point. I could also look in /var/lib/mpd/playlists to get the names - and I do - but this seems to be one of those little things. Granted, I say that, but it could also be one of those 'little things' that could be more complicated than expected. I don't think this is an option or setting that already exists somewhere and I'm missing it.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised either...

Thanks!

Do you mean that after loading a saved playlist into the Queue or saving the Queue as a playlist, display the name of that playlist somewhere on the main Playback screen for example above or below the Queue?

I can certainly see the benefit but there is a challenge. What to do with the displayed playlist name when the Queue which contains only the playlists' tracks is altered by adding tracks, albums, or radio stations directly from the Library?

I suppose "(modified)" or some other indicator could be added to the name. What do you think?
Enjoy the Music!
