+Now you are ready to generate the playlist. First, create a blank playlist::
+
+ hooke> new_playlist --name mylist
+
+Ensure that the new playlist is active::
+
+ hooke> jump_to_playlist -- -1
+ hooke> get_playlist
+ <FilePlaylist mylist>
+
+The ``--`` in the ``jump_to_playlist`` command lets
+``jump_to_playlist`` know that ``-1`` is an argument and not an

+supported by the `optparse module`_.
