I sometimes have lots of playlists open (I switch between them, am curating them etc), but there doesn't seem to be any indication in the UI as to which is the active playlist for the track currently playing. Am I missing an option somewhere?

If you are using Playlist Manager in your layout (DUI), you could replace it with SimPlaylist Manager and enable the 'Playing' column. It shows a playing icon, similar to the 'Playing' column of the default playlist.
I'm using the "Playlist Manager" component and mine highlights the playlist name by default:
Does yours not do that?
It highlights the active playlist (the one you are viewing). The playing playlist can be a different one.
You can double-click on the statusbar to activate the current playlist.
Also possible with a button: [main] -> View -> Highlight Now Playing
I'm not sure where you mean here, I don't have that option?
Right click on any button (play, pause, next song...) and then click 'customize buttons' and then add a new one; navigate to '[main] -> View -> Highlight Now Playing' and click add. And optionally give the button an icon.
Great, I didn't know you could do that, many thanks!
Excellent! Thanks Jason.
