wish: return to directory last played
theanthropos:
I submitted a feature request. Also, I don't use playlists.
GodEater:
Yes you do.
Every time you start playing a file in Rockbox, it builds a dynamic playlist - even if you don't know it's doing it.
Llorean:
I think it may be intentional that from the WPS to filetree follows the playlist, but from the main menu doesn't. I'm not sure, but I can see that behaviour as being seen to offer more flexibility. At least, I remember a discussion on this, but don't remember how it turned out, so it may be that a bug replicates what was suggested by some as intentional behaviour. I dunno.
Anywhere in Rockbox, you're at most two button presses away from the filetree via the WPS. There's only one place outside the filetree that's closer to it than two presses, and that's highlighting the file browser option in the main menu.
Is there a compelling reason why highlighting the last played file is useful outside a few special cases? Because basically, the only time you can't follow the playlist is after playback has stopped, and that makes a lot of sense to me.

I often want to play another album by the same artist. As I have /music/artist/album/tracks, on stop it is much much quicker to back out one directory then go into another than to select file tree from the menu, then music, then scroll through a very long list to find the artist, then select the album. Even on my H1x0 which scrolling is quick on, it takes a while to scroll to the middle of a list of 60 gb of music.
Llorean:
You do realize that when you start the first one, you can simply queue the second album so you never even have to go back to the filetree, right?
It sounds like we're in another "Flexibility" vs "Convenience" situation. =/
