The purpose of the hash table in emms-select-playlist-track (or
emms-play-playlist-track, as it may be) is to present the user with an
understandable representation of each track. I chose to use the description as
a key and the position as the value simply because that seemed easier at the
time.
I realize that the tracks themselves are data structures, but I'm not sure
that's going to help this function. I see emms-player-start, which takes a
track, but it looks like it doesn't select the track, rendering the mode-line
and playlist buffer both useless, as they will have the wrong track selected.
I am only just learning about emms-player-start and this problem. Is there a
better way to do this in EMMS?
