Would it be possible to implement an "Unallocated Songs" playlist which would automatically include any song that is not allocated to a playlist?

Would it be possible to implement an "Unallocated Songs" playlist which would automatically include any song that is not allocated to a playlist?
Every song you download (individually or in a playlist) is in your app's song library.
After downloading a playlist, many users delete it since it's songs are all in their library.
They use playlists for performance setlists.
How would you use your proposed list? Most of the charts in my library (~12k) are "unallocated".

It's intended to help keep songs in order. (There was a similar feature that could be set up in Apple's Contacts; any contact that wasn't allocated to a specific group would be allocated to an "unallocated" group - this proved useful in keeping control over contacts [essentially ensuring that all contacts were allocated to a group]).
I would think that many users keep all their songs in playlists (although, as you point out, many may not).
1. If you have a big song library and want all songs allocated to manageable sized playlists it is difficult to identify unallocated songs.
2. Songs can be in more than one playlist; when a user deletes a playlist they can't safely delete all the songs in the playlist because songs may appear in other playlists. In the case outlined in this thread....

...the user would delete the playlist first and then unwanted songs would appear in the "Unallocated" group and could then be safely deleted.
3. Duplicated songs are not allocated to a playlist; if there was an "Unallocated" playlist then this is where the song would reside until' specifically allocated by the user.
4. If a user reorders their playlists they may degenerate into a bit of a mess. In this case the "Unallocated" playlist would help the user exercise more control.
Thanks for your explanation and for sharing your idea.
