Add song from a playlist to dynamic playlist.

[philip123]

Is it possible to add a song from a playlist to the dynamic playlist.
Example: Load playlist A,  dynamic playlist is now created with the songs of playlist A, now you want to add a song that is in playlist B to the current dynamic playlist.
So you would go to Playlists -> View Catalog, select context menu for playlist B -> select Playlist -> select view, choose a song, context menu -> Now I would like to add the song to the current dynamic playlist but the only options is Add to playlist or Add to New playlist?

Is there any way to do this? I have an ipod 5.5 80G
Thanks

no, this cant be done. Cant you find the song in database or the file browser?

Hi,

Yes, I can find the song in the database. It will just be easier if I want to add a few songs from a specific playlist that I like to my current playlist.

Rockbox only works with one playlist at a time.  Opening a new playlist abandons the current playlist.  One way to do this might be to add functionality to the text viewer plugin that would allow you to copy a line of text and write it to the current playlist.  Unfortunately, this means duplicating the existing playlist options from the file browser or database inside of the plugin. 

On the other hand, perhaps a Lua script would be the best method of providing this functionality.  I could see that a simple plugin that just displays a playlist and allows you to delete lines or insert them at various positions in the current playlist could be useful.  In any case, if you want to propose something of the sort then please raise a topic in the Feature Ideas forum.
