Nice feature !

And for me, let Emms remember last playlist is quite handy, as in XMMS,
for instance. I have the following in my .emacs for some time.

(setq my-emms-playlist "~/.emacs.d/.playlist")

(add-hook 'emms-pbi-after-build-hook
          (lambda () (emms-pbi-export-playlist my-emms-playlist)))

(defun my-emms-play-last ()
  "Play recent playlist."
  (interactive)
  (emms-pbi-open-playlist my-emms-playlist))


PS. `emms-save-playlist's docstring says:

    emms-save-playlist is an interactive Lisp function in
    `emms-source-file'.  (emms-save-playlist filename)

    Export the current playlist as to filename. See also:
    `emms-pbi-import-playlist'.

Where's `emms-pbi-import-playlist'?
