View and edit playlist

Postby phy_lbc » 09 Feb 2013 01:19

Is it possible to view the current playlist? So far I haven't been able to locate it. If it does exist, is there a way to edit it (eg reorganise the order of tracks, by dragging and dropping the tiles). Would it be possible to add other tracks from different albums to the "current" playlist?

Current playlist can be found in the "History" tab in the side bar.

Editing support is planned.

I meant it more like this. When you go into the history tab, it shows you all the music files that you have OPENED at some point. But if I go into an album and click on one song, it will play it. Also on the player it will give me the option to click on the next track or previous track. But if I haven't played all the tracks in the album, they won't appear on the history tab. The app must know what order to play them in, because it follows the same order as the album is in. What I wanted to be able to do was to press the menu button and it will bring up the CURRENT playlist. This way I can quickly decide to play any track in that album without having to press the next button until I get to the right track.

So for example, if I was here:

I would just press the menu button and press an option called "Current playlist".

This could look something like this:

Yes, this is already requested and planned.
