Hi Jim (d6jg) - I disagree on the bizarre comment, I actually thought it
would be great if it worked (back when I tried it). In a way, it could
be thought of as a list of presets. Let's say you have 50 stations of
all genres, in a folder structure. You want to create a playlist of your
5 favorite "active" or "mellow" stations (which might be on different
branches of the folder structure), create those playlists, load them,
and choose between the stations.

But it doesn't work. I reported this back here:

and here

I am often asked here to provide as much detail as possibly, and I tend
to be a bit verbose (engineer), but in this thread I took a bit of flack
for it, so I stopped pursuit of a solution.

what I remember is that you could load stations into the queue (and save
to playlist if you like), and you could select a member of the list, it
would play, but eventually the artwork and meta data (from the previous
station) would persist when selecting a new station. Sp, play A, works
fine, switch to B, plays fine, but with A's artwork/meta. There was
other unexpected behavior including LMS locking up.

The other comment regarding creating a folder in favorites - this woud
work, but in my use case you would have to duplicate the favorites, and
to do this, you have to manually create them. If LMS had a way of
creating a redirection (pointer) as a favorite item, this would help,
but it doesnt (to the best of my knowledge)

Jim
