Feature Request: Suggestion for playlists

hari-bhari · 01-21-2007, 05:02 PM

Ok so let's say I want to listen to all of my songs by little waynea and birdman, I use the plus button to add all the albums, then I hit the checkbox and they start playing. now let's say i go back and want to make a new playlist with a few dave matthews albums. if i use the plus button to add a few of these albums, they just go into the queue after all my previously selected songs, so once I hit the checkbox, i've got a playlist with ALL the songs. i dont know if i'm just using this feature incorrectly, but maybe we need to have a way to create a new playlist and add new songs into it from the search or browse screens....

EDIT: so I played around a little bit, and I guess the way to start a new playlist is hit the big play button on the left while selecting any album,artist, etc. and then THAT album only will load up into a new playlist. you can THEN go back into the search and use the plus buttons to add to the current playlist....

david, are any changes going to be made in this department, or is this how it will be? i still don't fully understand how the queue works.

It will be easier to understand once we get a manual written...

I have explained it before, but not sure which posts...

play now on the left always just creates a new playlist with whatever is highlighted...
