What is Prune?

I use an audio player called Play. I'm setting some keyboard shortcuts in its Preferences. I want to use Cmd_P as its a standard shortcut for the Play function and Cmd_. for Stop.
But it tells me this:
The key combination "Command + P" couldn't be used, because it's already used by the menu item "Prune".

What in the world is Prune? OS X Help came up with nothing (of course) and Google didn't cough up anything relevant either. Doing a Google search for
"OS X" "menu item Prune"
had zero results.

Don't know other than Command + P is the default shortcut for Print .... have you tried that shortcut to call it's bluff and find out exactly what this 'Prune' is?

For play in iTunes, I use Ctrl + Spacebar FWIW.

elander will become famous soon enough
The lexical meaning of the verb "prune" is to get rid of surplus. If you had bothered to check the menus you wold've found it in File->Play Cue->Prune. Just below "Clear" and above "Scramble". So, it probably removes dupliccates or missing files from a Play Cue.
