is there a WPS tag for playlist?

<< < (2/2)

rbhawaii:
I can try explaining this way...
lets say i have 3 folders on my ipod

house with 500 songs
techno with 500 songs
club with 500 songs

when i browse over in house and click on any song my player shows me i am listening to song 1 out of 500
at this point i DO NOT want it to say PL any where on the screen

now i make a playlist using winamp and save it, my playlist has 1500 songs in it , it consists of everything in house, techno and club folders
i save it as "all music playlist" and drop the file into my rockbox

i turn on rockbox and click on  "all music playlist"
it works just fine and shows me i am playing song 1 out of 1500 songs - i am very happy at this point
i just want it to say PL somewhere on the screen now, because i am playing a playlist

now if i browse to a folder and click on any song i am no longer playing a playlist but now playing from a folder it says song 1 out of 500 is playing and i DO NOT want it to say PL anywhere on the screen.

is there a tag that knows a playlist is on or off? if so what is it please
Post Merge: April 04, 2012, 08:03:04 PMso if i use %pn
it is my understanding that it will list the playlist name i just want it to say PL no matter what the playlists name is

is %pn still the way to go? is so how?

redblade8:
...maybe one day %pn can be changed to have a custom name displayed one day too? Instead of the actual playlist name..? like %pn<Playlist> %pn<PL> %pn<Root Playlist>  to display Playlist...etc...and without the
<"..."> part just defaults to the original function of %pn.

JdGordon:
what? Use it like every single other tag...

%?pn<PL>

I was thinking he couldn't do that, and that's why he was posting, so...sorry o.O;;
I didn't know that every tag could be used that way...I guess I'm still learning, haha ^^
Glad to hear you got it solved. =)
