I think if I select a specific song in a playlist and select a specific other one to come next, slim should obey me and not the "tag". OTOH, if I select random play, slim should consider them as a pair, like those t-shirts "I came with him", "I came with her". > Would it also mean "if you play one of these, make sure you play them > all"?I hadn't considered more than pairs, but I suppose one could devise a generalized mechanism. Sometimes a song has an intro, the song, and an outro (I hate that word). Listen to Jook Joint Intro, Let the Good Times Roll and Killer Joe, from Q's Jook Joint. They go together. When I DJ, I just play Killer Joe. But for casual listening, they go together in that sequence. (and by the way, this is a place where seamless playback would be important). It's partly a property of the track, but also a function of what my listening intent is. I'm not sure where the data structure should lie, but I'm pretty sure only a part of it lives in the track itself. > It reminds me of the old index numbers for CDs that were finer grain > than track numbers.

Maybe there's something to be learned from that design. -- Michaelwagner _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
