I see in another recent ranting thread (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104763-A-little-rant-about-LMS) that there is some discussion about playlists. I've never been able to find a way in LMS of doing the one thing with playlists that would really be useful to me.
I have playlists that are themed -- e.g. one is "male/female duets", with many dozens of tracks on it. I sometimes like to play it randomly, provides a nice kind of overview of my collection, and I listen to things that I hadn't heard in a long time. It requires maintenance from time to time, mainly in adding new tracks, or tracks new to me. I have yet to figure out a way to do this from within LMS, although it does have the capacity of creating a new saved playlist from a current playlist (from which I infer that LMS can write to a playlist). What I'd like would be the ability to take a current song, or one from a current playlist, and add it to a saved playlist. My fantasy is that the option would come up in the context menu on whatever is my current controller -- when viewing a playlist, go to the properties of a track and on one of the two pages of detail, have an option to "add to an existing playlist". Selecting that would show the available playlists, you'd select and shazaam, added. Be even better if it were possible to CREATE a new playlist in the same dialog, but that's lower priority. I DO understand that with most real-life controllers being third party apps for mobiles, that the implementation would have to be on that side, but an implementation that worked on the Controller would be a boon, too. Just a thought.
