This is a nice way, but I'm sure, I would forget about the .christmas-Folder after 11 month :-) I had a similar idea some month ago: Hide Tracks I have a lot of albums, where there is one track, which I do definively not like. But rather than deleting or moving the file away, I would just like to ban it from beeing played in Amarok. So there could be a feature like banned tracks and banned albums with a corresponding menü Entry "Show banned items". Many image viewers have this feature also implemented, I think it's quite useful.
