DetailsHi!
I am missing the possibility to replace the current playlist with another one dynamically. Let me explain: Say, I choose one of the tracks from /artist/album/. That creates a new playlist with all the music files in this directory. Now I changed my mind and I would like to hear /artist/doublealbum/. Unfortunately, this directory contains two subdirectories cd1 and cd2. If I want to play both of them, I currently have to choose a track from cd1 and then insert cd2 at the end of the playlist. My idea is to provide a new item in the playlist context menu labelled "Replace" or something like that. Now I could simply go to /artist/doublealbum, use "Replace" from the playlist menu and I had all the tracks from cd1 and cd2 in the playlist, while none from /artist/album remain. The only issue I can see with this is the question what happens to the currently playing song (from the old playlist). I would prefer it to keep playing until it ends or I skip forward. After that, the new playlist should start to play (I think that's the way xmms/winamp handle similar situations). But if that proves to be difficult, Rockbox could just start to play the new playlist as well. |
This task depends upon

Why not just create a playlist with the two CD:s in it, and
then play it?
Because sometimes I also want to create a completely new
playlist with only one or a few songs from one directory.
Like, if I am at a party and use my iriver as a jukebox. I
have a playlist with all the songs from the album of the
currently playing song. But I wanted to play just this one
song. If I could use "replace" for files and directories, I
could create a new playlist with just one song and then
insert every other song by hand (and then maybe repeat the
playlist without the songs I didn't want in the first place).
At first, I thought I needed a "clear playlist" feature, but
"replace" could work as well and is problably more
straightforward.
I added an adhoc Clear Playlist entry to my menu...
