Karma style playlist options

gorman:
Apart from what I asked  in my previous post, I'd like to make a strong case about playlists *not* erasing themselves at the end of their playtime.

You say "save it", "why do you want it around if you haven't saved it", etc. But this behaviour is unlike any media player I have ever seen in my life.

What's the usefulness in having the dynamic playlist erasing by default at the end. What can one gain this way? Why is it that all other players work differently (foobar, Winamp, Karma, Zen, whatever I've ever tried, really)?

woodensoul:
I actually have a Karma in practically brand new condition, but it hasn't seen hardly any use because I love Rockbox so much.  Anyone interested, let me know.

As for the playlist features, I would also like to see this implemented, in addition to Zen Xtra style playlist viewing and manipulation.  The Zen Xtra allows you to view tracks in the playlist grouped by how they were added.  For example, if you added an entire album, it will display the album name in the playlist and you can move the tracks in the album up or down in the playlist as a group.  It works the same way with artists and genres.  Also you can expand each heading (artist, album, genre) to see each track in the playlist.  Additionally, albums, artists or genres can be removed from the playlist as with the Karma.  I like this feature very much and it is one of the very few things that I wish Rockbox did, but can't yet.

Llorean:
Bear in mind, Rockbox uses a standards based playlist format, M3U. Many of these features aren't possible with standard M3U playlists, as Rockbox has both no metadata about the song, nor any stored information about how it was added.
