I'm sorry if I'm mistaken... but isn't there already a Favorites plugin available for streams? I use it all the time ( for shoutcast at least...). Would something similiar (applied universally) help to solve this problem?
What if this functionality was accessible from =any= track "now playing", using the current "Favorites" plugin interface convention (right arrow to toggle add/remove)?. No extra buttons would be needed on the remote, the extra functionality would be contextually tied to the song currently playing via the directional arrows. Once you've got all your Favorites picked, a playlist is created which you could rename (via remote, if possible???) and save. However, my =favorite= idea mentioned so far involves implementing some form of ratings system... This would be great! The ratings info could be written to a tracks ID metadata... in fact I think "RATING" is already an unofficial tag. Perhaps "Ratings" could even replace "zapped" and "favorites" all together... songs you =really= don't like are rated "*", your favorites "****", etc. All of these ratings create their own playlists, each containing the songs of that particular rating.... an instance of any of these lists could be "Saved as" a renamed playlist (similiar to the current Zapped list behaves )Now.... what would be super cool would be if "actions" could then be performed on these playlists... for instance "Never play songs rated "*" or Only play songs rated "****" y. -- Yannzola _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
