[Feature Request] Audio CD's open in their own playlist

I play audio CD's a bit. When I put a CD in, it automatically opens up in Foobar2000, but however the tracks always goes to the playlist that is set in Preferences -> General -> Windows Shell Interaction -> Always send new files to playlist. Once that happens, I have to drag and drop the files into another playlist that I use solely for audio discs, then I have to go back to the 'file drop' playlist to remove the tracks that I copied over.

So my feature request for foobar2000 is a setting that if enabled, when a CD is put into the computer the tracks automatically go to the specified CD playlist instead of the playlist used for Windows Shell Integration.

main menu -> File -> Open Audio CD ... -> Play

The CD will be played in its own playlist

That works.

However, I want CD's to be automatically added to their own play list, and that was the subject of my feature request.

I have not tested it but as a solution for the present you can try the following:

Insert a CD, hold "shift" pressed until the CD drive is closed (this deactivates the AutoPlay function temporarily), create an autoplaylist named "CD-drive" with code

Code: [Select]
%path% HAS "d:\"

(replace d: with the letter of your CD drive).

Does this help?
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

I tried that, and it did not work. I even added my CD drive to the list of monitored folders.
