Unfortunately, no. Several of us have been asking for that feature for a long time but alas, it hasn't happened. My request, and what I'm going to put in my private version, is to allow a playlist to contain the name of a config file. If this file name is valid it is executed, otherwise ignored. After execution, play resumes. More than one config could be referenced in a playlist so, for instance, you might want to play one album sequentially and shuffle another. That would solve your problem but unfortunately, I have no idea when or if that feature might make it into the official code. john --- John De Armond See my website for my current email address http://www.neon-john.com Cleveland, Occupied TN Don't let your schooling interfere with your education-Mark TwainReceived on 2007-02-23 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
