[QUOTE="JimmyBoy, post: 765193, member: 72806"] Hi, Im a bit late jumping into this, and must confess that I havent read all the pages (getting late, work in the morning), but from the first few pages I DID read, I was agreeing in that I find the current system a little flawed. I, Like others state, like to listen to some tracks, and then if I like them, I add them to my current playlist etc... (pretty much what has already been stated) The way I see it is like this : The "Current Playlist" should never be altered. I will of (over time), added tracks to this playlist, and by playing a new track (to hear what it is), I dont want my previous playlist cleared. I almost see the need for two playlists ; 1) "Current Playlist" (as we already have) 2) "Audtion Playlist" The audition playlist would need a new screen, which would be pretty much identical to the "Current Playlist" we currently have. When browsing my music : If I press play on an album track, the whole album gets added to the "Audtion Playlist" and plays from the currently selected track (ie if I pressed play on track 7, whole album is added, and starts playing from track 7) If I press play on a track, the "Audition Playlist" is cleared and it gets added to the "Audition Playlist", and plays Would be nice if the "Audition Playlist" screen had a checkbox type control next to each song, and also one at the top which would select all the songs in the current audition playlist. Then we wouldneed a button or context menu option to "Add selected tracks to current playlist" option. This way my "Current Playlist" remains static and unchanged by whatever I do, and the "Audition Playlist" is the dynamic one. So the overall workflow would be as follows Browse Music > Audition Track/Album > Dont like track / album > Continue Auditioning other tracks Browse Music > Audition Track/Album > Like Track / album > Add selected tracks / current track to current playlist You could say that the "Current Playlist" is essentially working as I am describing the "Audition Playlist", but to my mind, there needs to be a playlist for "I just wanna see what this track / album sounds like" scenario, and an additional playlist for "this is a playlist im working on at the moment, that only MYSELF (not the system) can modify" scenario (I wont of saved it as a playlist yet, because it is a work in progress playlist). I have a feeling that I may of made this sound WAAAAY more complicated than it actually is, it's really quite simple. Also, you may of come up with a better working solution already,. but I just wanted to add my thoughts. Please dont bash me for my late night thoughts!! hehe :D All the best. [/QUOTE]
