I agree its more a hype thing than precise information.
I also agree the word "valid" would be good in there.

I came to "Playlist 2.0" because
* in a way it is and will be part of the new web
* I tried several other slogans before.

Among the former candidates were thing like
* "Validity matters" (too long, not for non-geeks
* "Valid playlist" (too long)
* "For playlists" (as in for president, looks like voting not valid)
* "Play valid" (grammatically incorrect?, playlist/content mixed up)

If anybody knows a better slogan please let me
know so we can check if it works.

I'll check if I can further tune this.

Will give it a try.

Thanks to all for the feedback!
