Remarks

This method creates an empty playlist in the library. To fill the playlist with media items, use IWMPPlaylist::appendItem or IWMPPlaylist::insertItem.

Multiple playlists having the same name are permitted in the library. To avoid creating a duplicate playlist name with this method, use the getByName method and IWMPPlaylistArray::count to determine whether a playlist with a particular name already exists.

Leading and trailing spaces are not permitted in playlist names, and are automatically removed from the value specified for the bstrName parameter.

Before calling this method, you must have full access to the library. For more information, see Library Access.
