When called interactively from within a playlist buffer,
`emms-playlist-set-playlist-buffer' should present a completing read of
all playlist buffers. Is this not what you see?

Personally, I have a lot of playlist buffers. I have M-<f11> bound to
`emms-metaplaylist-mode-go', which is where I manage my playlists and
choose from among them.

`emms-toggle-single-track' is a function which will toggle the
buffer-local value of the `emms-single-track' variable. When
`emms-single-track' is t, then Emms doesn't proceed to the next
track. So you could set `emms-single-track' to t in playlist buffers
with videos in them.

The mpv backend misbehaves with regards to `emms-single-track'. This is
a bug and will be fixed. Sorry about that.

`emms-bookmarks.el' is a very simple implementation and doesn't have
search. Were you thinking of a completing read? That shouldn't be hard
to implement.
