However, unlike the queue file, this is not formatted to be used as a playlist and, as such, will probably not be too useful to you if saved (there are some kludgy things you can do by making use of the resume functionality). > I was mainly wanting the quick save/reload feature so I could mix tracks > I just added with tracks I'm listening to now, without waiting for the > current playlist to play (Append) or switching to only the added songs > (Insert).

Once you've inserted all the tracks you want, select shuffle twice (first one sorts the playlist and second one reshuffles). By doing this you'll have a playlist that contains all the original tracks plus the ones you just inserted, all shuffled randomly. I don't see any reason for adding a quick save/reload functionality as everything you can do with a normal playlist you can do with a dynamic one. > Tim -Hardeep Received on 2003-06-23 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
