You probably don't. While it may seem like a good idea, controls on a
stereo component are designed for physical contact. Emulating a volume
knob on a computer screen may look cool at first glance, you'll find
it hard to operate with a mouse. Equally, a list with a scrollbar is
by far the most natural means of selecting a playlist, so why go out of
your way to avoid it? See any of the numerous texts on user interface
design. But I guess it depends on whether you're after eye candy or
usability...
