I was envisaging a disabled flag that would essentially make a song disappear from the db (it can't really disappear, or it would just reappear at the next rescan). Once disabled, it wouldn't play as part of albums, random mixes etc. Not sure how I'd implement this. Possibly mark disabled tracks in an obvious way when they are shown in browse music and stop them being added to playlists. That way, if you browsed to an album you'd see the disabled tracks, but they wouldn't get played if you added the album.
It sounds like you'd want another flag - disable in random mixes. This would probably have to be specific to RandomMix. Making it work with shuffle would be harder, although I suppose you could change the add songs logic to honour the flag if the playlist is already shuffled.

That's not what I want to achieve. -- max.spicer The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------ max.spicer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16437 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
