+Emms provides a visual, interactive playlist mode as well as the
+ability to use the playlists without ever looking at then. The visual,
+interactive mode is called the ``interactive playlist mode'' and is
+defined in @file{emms-playlist-mode.el}.
+
+The interactive playlist mode is enabled by default in the
+`emms-standard', `emms-all' and `emms-devel' setup levels. For more
+information about Emms setup levels see @xref{Simple Setup}.
+
+In order to manually enable the interactive playlist mode we can
+invoke the following:
+
+@lisp
+(require 'emms-playlist-mode)
+(setq emms-playlist-default-major-mode 'emms-playlist-mode)
+@end lisp
+
+This loads the feature and sets the correct major mode for visiting
+playlist buffers.
