In the cloud do you even have a "collection"? It's nothing as tangible as a rack of CDs or even an mp3 file, in this case it is just a UI abstraction over a set of database flags.

Even an mp3 is a UI abstraction over a set of database flags, if you consider the bits on your hard drive to be a database. The cloud provider has a collection, you have access to their collection, and your curated section of their collection is your playlist.
