Hmm, there's a lot to learn about LMS! I'm surprised you didn't look at Pippin's plugin suggestion - Playlist manager - if you have a phone or tablet (I use Squeeze Ctrl on an Android phone) you can add any track to any playlist, or even a new playlist. I think that's what you wanted? :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: addto2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22314| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ LMS 7.9 on a Raspberry Pi 3/piCorePlayer 3.10, playlists and LMS cache on a USB stick, 25K+ music library on a WD MyCloud network drive, Rasberry Pi 2 > piCorePlayer 3.02 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 Raspberry Pi 3/piCorePlayer 3.10/HiFiBerry DAC+ > Cambridge Audio Minx 5 (study) 1 x Boom (dining room) - 1 x Radio (garage) - 1 x Touch (display and controller only) - 1 x SB3 (spare) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107119 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
