I'm not following you there... When I say "tweaks of the current playlist source", I'm talking about changes UI-wise and behaviour-wise, ie what you are expecting from a "queue" could be such a tweak. And I'm not saying the queue should be a playlist exactly like the others, I'm wondering if it could be made to behave mostly like a playlist. > > I like what Jonathan is proposing.

I'm not against that, I'm just asking you to convince me. I already mentioned 1 drawback removing songs from the queue would have, and this is the 3rd time I ask for specific reasons why removing songs from the queue would be useful without getting 1 (even bad) reason. So why? Christophe _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
