OK, I had hoped to get answers not questions but since you wrote so quick and nice here are A FEW uses for playlists:
- exclude tracks eg 1: I usually do not want to hear Obladi-Oblada from the White Album so I'd like to have a PL my_white_album eg 2: Often I'd like to not hear the bonus tracks of a remastered CD; so I want a PL to restore the original album - group tracks eg 1: I have many box sets which include both the tracks of the original albums and alternate tracks etc.. So I want to create PLs that play the original albums. Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Buffalo Springfield box sets are just a few examples. (recreating the originals from a collection) eg 2: I have all original Beatles albums in their respective folders but I'd also like to have PLs for the Red and Blue albums. (recreating a collection from the originals) eg 3: I usually put one CD into one folder. Many musical works consist of two or more CDs and I'd like to have a PL that plays all tracks that, say make up the opera or the live concert in a row. (create spanning sets) - change sort orders in a flexible way, independent from file names and track numbers (sort freely) I could go on, but I hope that some of these examples make sense to you. If not, consider this: showing something but not playing it is a bug by definition. Any other player like winamp or whatnot will play (well-formed) playlists, and so should this wonderful device. I really want to know how to make playlists work; please do not tell me that my wishes are exotic and please do not tell me how to work around any of the above examples! thanks for listening tom -- tawulf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tawulf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35826 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75763 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
