Subtle change to the --list output. By sending status to stderr and the playlist titles to stdout it allows scripts to capture stdout only. This allows a script to iterate over the list of playlists to automatically extract all of them.

My use case is that I run Plex and Lyrion Music Server on the same Docker swarm sharing the same volume of music. I still have devices in the home that tie into LMS, but use Plex as my primary media server on my phone, in my car and in browser.

Your script allows me to manage all my playlists in Plex and simply export them all into the Lyrion Music Server. I never create or edit playlists in LMS.

Great work, thank you!
