Same player in basic & Pro. If the files that you want to add to a playlist aren't in LW's library (eg in shared or saved files) then you'll have to open the folders containing the files that you want to add & the drag & drop into the LW player's playlist.

Right now, it appears that the average user downloads a set of desired songs, shuts down LimeWire and fires up iTunes to listen to the songs and engage in all the other iTunes interactions that are commercially benefiting Apple. Imagine what leverage LimeWire could have by just offering a more decent player (e.g. library support) and keeping users.
I don't know what the developers think. Helpers on this forum don't work for LW - we're volunteers. I don't even know if the developers look at this forum any more... they certainly don't post here any more

If you want to track the progress of the player, you can check out the JIRA: https://www.limewire.org/jira/secure/QuickSearch.jspa (type 'player' into the quick search bar) and Changelog: Changelog - LimeWire (changes to player began in version 4.15.0)

Or post over here at this other forum: LimeWire Forums
Maybe a developer will answer your post over there.
