How can I make a new playlist in VLC player (2.1.6 Rincewind), give it a name and assign songs to it? There is no menu called 'playlist' and menu item 'new playlist'.

In VLC under "View", there you have an entry "Playlist". When you have organized you playlist you can save and name it with the following step: Under "Media" you have the entry "Save Playlist to File".
Select Playlist from the View menu, then you can add items as desired.
You can use the shortcut Ctrl+L. This will open the playlist then right click Add File or you can Add all files from a specific directory using Add directory.
VLC generates playlists with the .xspf
file extension. To add this, just select Media Library and then right click in the right side area then select your playlist files. There's no need to do this every time, only once.
