Changes to Playlist

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Am planning in a future release to rewrite the way the current playlist
works

This is to allow:

A) manipulation of playlist in web interface (and device menus)

B) allow skip back on random mode

The way it will be done is to put tracks in the playlist in order selected,
popping them off (either in order or randomly as appropriate) and pushing
them into a played queue

So initially tracks will pop off in order added, if random selected then
they will be popped off randomly, if random switched off then pop remaining
tracks in order etc etc

But what should happen when finished playing all tracks?

1) Restore tracks to playlist in the order they were played (which could be
random compared to the order they were added)?

2) Keep a separate list of the tracks original order and restore to
original
order?

With regard to the current playlist should it still show 'played' tracks?
If
so, should it tag them in someway? Or should the current playlist show
played tracks (in order played) and then current/next/waiting tracks?

What options on playlist interface? E.g. track up, track down, play now,
delete

I'd like to get a consensus and/or any other suggestions before making
these
changes as they are fairly complex - and don't want to have to do it all
again!

Many thanks
Tony
