How can I nest playlists on Rockbox?

fredex:
I'm not the OP, but what I think he is requesting is:

playlist A may contain filenames of music to play, and/or it may contain name of another playlist (B) to open and play. possibly playlist B could contain name of playlist C to open and play.

I've often wished for this when putting things that have multiple groups of files (large music compositions, a series of audiobooks). E.g., each audiobook would have its own playlist, each of which could be played individually, or a playlist for the whole series, which just invokes each individual book's playlist to make it easy to hear the whole series.

chrisjj:
I use nested playlists to organise my tracks in categories. E.g. each of the Vals objects here:



is a playlist representing a level 1 category, containing zero tracks but about a dozen sub-playlists each representing a level 2 category and referencing tracks from various albums.

This is invaluable. Nested playlists are ideal for this and I've seen no other solution on any player.

EDIT: I use nested playlists in MediaMonkey and JRiver Media Centre. I've not found how to nest playlists in Rockbox.
