No party mode will be good enough without squeezebox automatically doing
crossfade when I press play while the another song is being played!
Skip must crossfade too.
It's no party mode if it doesn't crossfade between songs when the USER
skip or play a new song...

...thrid post, three months.
I've asked for a little help getting the ability to save a playlist
twice now.
Does anybody know how to do this or am I simply asking a stupid
question and being ignored because of it?
Even a no you can't do that would be great to know.
Thank you in advance,
Joe

I don't know what you mean by Save playlist. Web UI? Player UI?
SBC? Save the current Now Playing playlist, or something else?
There's a Save Playlist plugin that provides the
I still cannot get the save playlist feature to work.
Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong? Is this not a built in
feature and requires a addin?
Are addins safe to use?
Thanks,

From my point of view this is a great change. Very difficult to get a
large number of people (more than 3) to NOT hit the play button.
However, with the proposed change the play button essentially buts the
song in line. This is not how a Jukebox works - you pick a song and it
adds to the end.
If you can give more specifics on when you see the add button
performing and add-next, I'd appreciate it.
This is what happens for me:
1. Clear the current playlist.
2. Set Playlist mode to Off.
3. Play an album [album songs A,B,C].
4. Press add button on a song [song D]. This adds to the end

I'll look into that today, but if it's as you report, it's a bug.

Playlist mode, not party mode, can be invoked dynamically via the add
button, but not when it's disabled.
There's not much difference between the two modes, but what I meant was that
the normal behaviour is lost when someone presses add.
The wiki says:
Invoking Playlist Mode
Completely agree with Philip Meyer here.
This is going to cause such HUGE confusion for Joe Public (or Jo Bloggs
if he British ;)), i strongly believe to is must be disabled by default.
I can't see why anyone would want it invoked automatically, it should
just be a settings option.

Yes,
I'm not on 7.3 yet, but Playlist mode sounds like it is what I would
want to have enabled ALL the time. I can't tell from reading the
wiki... if playlist mode is set to ON, then will it still go back to
playlist mode OFF when the player is turned off?
