I think a better idea is to pick up the old idea of binding .cfg files to .m3u (and .mp3) files. I.e. play_list() looks for a .cfg file with the same name and location as the .m3u file. If it exists, it is loaded with settings_load_config(). This way you can set a lot more options for each playlist than just shuffle. I can see people wanting to adjust sound settings too, for example. -- BjörnReceived on 2003-03-07 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
