Once I found out about marks, they were intuitive enough; I had been using isearch-occur with regexpes before that (I'm a regexp junkie). That may explain why I expected marks to act pretty much like an interactive Occur buffer - that is, by taking virtual slices out of a playlist. > I appreciate the demand for this functionality, but I don't > want to install the mark solution in Bongo. > > Please use Daniel Jensen's advice (posted in this thread) if > you want the behavior in question. I've added that feature in mine own breed of Bongo, though it is integrated in a Darcs patch instead (mostly because I'm tracking the Darcs repo very aggressively). > Right!

What I am missing at present is a way to "tie" the loose buffers together; I'll give my thoughts on the subject once I've used multiple playlists some more, though. > Did you grab that one? (Use `darcs pull'.) I guess I did the 'darcs pul' (I'm laziness incarnate) shortly before you sent in your patch, or there was some latency, or I simply forgot to reload bongo.el after fetching the patch. The MIME patch works properly now. > I just meant what you are talking about. Some way to say > which tracks are to be played during automatic playback. I like that one very much. Has it been discussed before on the mailing list so that I can read it up? Thanks!
