Rockbox

Hi!

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.
