Playlists: Send to Playlist and Play, Enqueue Next, Enqueue Last ?

2007-09-10 19:54:59

Hi,

I would like to work the following way:

1 "Now Playing" Playlist which is the only playlist that actually plays
Several other playlists that may be dynamic or search results.

To do so, what I need is a the following three commands:
Send to Playlist and play
Enqueue Next
Enqueue Last

These commands should send the files to a pre-defined playlist.  So I would browse through my "Party" playlist, discover a song and decide to play this after the currently playing song.  Or I may search for an artist and send the results to the end of the currently playing list.

Is that possible?  What components do I need?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Martin

As Foobar supports multiple playlists (one of the most amazing features in my eyes) you don't have only one playing playlist: all of your playlists are playable. What you can do is following: Create a default playlist, then be sure that foosions foo_utils is in your components folder. You will be able to add or send or add and play or send and play to that default playlist by context menu, hotkey or button. Chronials plugin foo_trackpos will give you opportunity to place after current playing.

Hi,

thanks for your help.

Now that plugin gives me indeed one more function from my wishlist: "Enqueue last", i.e. put at the end of a playlist.  Good.

Unfortunately, the "Insert function" inserts the file BEFORE the currently playing one.  Therefore, this function is useless to me, as the file is never played.  Fortunately, I already have another plugin that gives me "Enqueue next" command, i.e. place after the currently playing one.

Still missing is the "Send to playlist and play" function.  The corresponding command sends the file to the playlist specified but plays it in the current playlist.  I think you discovered this behavior yourself.

Anybody have an idea on how to send a file to a certain playlist and immediately play it in the playlist?

You can do that with foo_utils: Go in the preferences and add that command to your context menu!

Yes, I can do that with foo_utils, but this will only work when executed from the menu.  I'd like to have a hotkey.

I think you complained about this bug yourself (may be a FB2k bug, not a foo_utils one).
