Great new idea for rockbox developers

Registration for the Wiki is separate and different from the Forum

So is registration for the tracker (flyspray) where you were pointed to...

And registration for Flyspray is different yet again.

What I see as a viable alternate for Rockbox, that very closely simulates the iRiver behaviour but keeps the Rockbox idiom, is the ability to have "Play Next" on a playlist (or song/folder), that basically creates a new playlist in RAM with either the selected song, folder, or playlist, and begins on it when the current song finishes.

This allows for the iRiver behaviour, but maintains the playlist idiom. It could even be treated like the insert/queue options (there could as well be Play Last to go with it)

After reading the previous page of stuff, I was about to suggest exactly that.  heh.
oh, how about a winamp-style "stop after current"?
(well, i suppose i should go search feature requests first...)

Why would I ever want to stop my iriver without turning it off? Stop after current doesn't make much sense to me.

[Llorean]

Stopping makes sense in the "I want to start a new playlist" context, at the very least. I'm not sure what the practical use of "Stop after current" is though, over all.

[LinusN]

It would make sense if you used Rockbox to play sound effects, or in a dance class.

[mlind]

...or if you're a music junkie (like me) that don't want to stop the song before it's over, but don't want to keep the finger on the stop button until it is. And fade out on pause is not the answer.

Especially if the player is lying somewhere (not in my pocket).

Like, if I just want to hear that song through, and then get down working.
(I work with audio, so I can't listen while working).
