In the Web UI, you should be able to go to Home Dynamic Playlists
(under Music Library), then find the playlist in the list and click the
heart. I'll attach a screen shot.

You can select them as a Dynamic Playlist favorite,
Ah thanks both - I'll investigate further... I did know about the heart

Personally I swapped for three reasons:
- auto-shuffle - won't be relevant with Dynamic Playlists anyway as
I'll do the randomising in the playlist
- multiple alarms
- duration of alarm (i.e. set it to 60 mins).
I'm not sure what other people use it for - it seems quite popular!

mean it would then work in ExtendedAlarm automatically in 7.2 - as it

Did some initial testing of this, and it seems to partially work.
If my current listening playlist is a Dynamic Playlist, and the alarm
triggers, it will resume playing that playlist. Which is great.
