I hope it gets implemented on future versions :)" It is possible to use rhythmbox in a one-playlist fashion like this: Drag and drop an album or some songs from the library to always the same playlist, they will get appended, and double-click the playlist to play from it. The clear playlist thing could be done easily with a select-all and delete if only the delete key would work (bug?). The other way to use rhythmbox is as a jukebox - when you're near it, selecting artists and albums from the library is enough to let them get played when the last song is over, provided it is not playing from a playlist. The drag-and drop an artist/album/genre part works with a patch I made recently (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165583), and I think isn't included yet. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
