Well, playlist syncing doesn't need a separate dialog. At least that
is not the way I intended.

Synchronized playlists/podcasts will appear as one item in the browser
unless their grouped by provider. But then it's actually the same item
displayed twice.

Dropping a playlist on a different provider will set up a sync pair.
I'm not sure this should be done by default but I don't immediately
see the use case for copying a playlist to a device without having it
synced.

I'll explain further later, meanwhile read the code at
