I'm certainly not surprised other people have been asking about this,
but I am disappointed that we won't see it soon.

It would be nice if the squeezebox could be a useful tool to create and
save playlists, but I guess new users should just keep a copy of iTunes
or winamp handy to do that.  The idea that a playlist that took 30-60
minutes to compile can easily be wiped out with a stray button click or
a new user with good intentions just doesn't seem like an intelligent
design choice.

And for what?  It's not difficult to clear a playlist.  Playlists take
time to compile.  Taking five seconds to clear them with the "clear
playlist" function doesn't seem unreasonable

The method would still be the play button.  The play button would play
your choice immediately without the often unintended "oh while I'm at
it, I'm going to clear your entire playlist for you too" effect.

Please take the time to read my posts if you are going to respond to
them.

Thank you for this.  Will this work for the Slimserver web interface,
or just the IR remotes?  Is there something different for the web
interface?
