"Crop List" might sound still vague. I would suggest "Clear List Except Selected" in accordance with the existing commands "Clear List" and "Clear List Before Selected".

i am unclear why "crop" is not an understood term - its commonly used in picture editing so i am surprised the meaning is not clear. Additionally winamp uses it so people coming from winamp will be instantly familiar with how it works.
I am not inclined to change it

It was the word "selected" in the new command I was drawing attention to. It isn't the selected files that get cropped, just as the crop command in an image editor doesn't remove the selected area.

-edit-
Just checked GIMP and it uses "Crop to Selection". Maybe "Crop to Selected Files" is a clearer suggestion?

Add a confirmation dialog crop from the playlist (the same as when removing).
Few times a habit not delete my playlists (well was a backup).
Sorry for my bad English.
