This is caused by a period following the
\\{emms-playlist-mode-map} in emms-playlist-mode.el - if you
remove the dot, everything should work fine:

 (defun emms-playlist-mode ()
   "A major mode for Emms playlists.
-\\{emms-playlist-mode-map}."

 (defun emms-playlist-mode ()
   "A major mode for Emms playlists.
+\\{emms-playlist-mode-map}"

Thanks for the report, the fix is in the darcs repository now. :-)

> Not knowing how to use playlists

You should be able to just use M-x emms-play-directory-tree or
similar. The playlist buffer will be created automatically.

Have fun with EMMS!
