A Playlist is little more than a list of registration banks.
When you add a record to a Playlist, only the name and storage location (drive/folder) of the selected registration bank is stored in the Playlist. The registration bank itself is not saved in the Playlist record. When you select a record in a Playlist a complete registration bank is loaded.
When you add records to a Playlist from the Playlist display, either by using 'List' or 'Search', the selection screen that opens will show just folders and registration banks if you use 'List', and just registration banks if you use 'Search'. Although you can open any folders that are listed, you can't add a folder to a Playlist record! If you open any folders that don't contain registration banks, then nothing will be listed. In addition, you can't open the registration banks in these screens in the same way that you can't open them in the normal registration bank selection screen.
If you have set up existing registrations so that they include the settings for different songs on each button, then once you have selected the bank to use and created the record in the Playlist, you can edit the record so that it activates (selects) one specific button in the bank when that record is called up. So for example if you have set up a bank which contains the song that you want for that record in button #3, you could have the Playlist record load the relevant registration bank and activate button #3. However before you can edit a record, you must first add the record to the Playlist. If you wanted to create another record in the Playlist for a different song (on button #4 say) from the same registration bank, you would add the record, selecting the same bank, and then edit the new record so that it activates button #4 etc. You can have many different records in the same Playlist that call up the same registration bank if you like.
The problem with this approach is that the record in the Playlist will be given the name of the registration bank that it calls up which won't necessarily be the name of the song if the bank contains settings for multiple songs! However, you can edit the name of each Playlist record if necessary.
A much better way is to save the settings for each different song in different registration banks, even if you only want to use one button in each. You can then name each bank with the name of the song, which also has the advantage of making the registration for a specific song much easier to find in a folder, even if you are not using a Playlist. If you add records to a Playlist that call up registration banks set up like this, each Playlist record will automatically be given the name of the song that the registration is set up for (as in the YouTube video).
You can read about how to create new Playlists, add records and edit records in the section 'Managing a Large Repertoire by Using the Playlist' starting on page 90 of the PSR-SX900 Owner's Manual.
