2. set up auto-sync options for device in options.
3. under playlists tab, check the "imported playlists" node.
4. expand the node.

6. sync device.
7. disconnect device.
8. rescan/add new music files folder with a valid .M3U play list inside the folder. (or add a new playlist to the parent node manually.)
9. confirm that the new play list appears in the Play lists | Imported play lists node. (or parent node)
10. confirm the play list is valid (tracks show up and can be played.) (Playlist will not sync to some devices if there are no valid tracks within it.)
11. sync device again.
12. disconnect device.
13. verify if new imported play list is on device => not there.
14. open tools | options | devices | device auto-sync configuration.
15. click Play lists tab.
16. verify that "imported play lists" parent node is still selected.
