Description Joerg Schwieder 2009-07-31 06:20:06 UTC
Playlist menus have some special items, e.g. "Play All" and "Add to library".
It would be really cool to be able to identify these items.

Prio 1 would be to identify "Play All", the others I see are somewhat distinguishable because they don't have an "style" of "itemplay".

this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.

Just for information, I'll add a type => "playall" on item level in Custom Browse to support iPeng.

This means that the Custom Browse play all items will look something like this:
=============================
  {
    actions => { "add-hold" => undef, go => undef },
    params => { hierarchy => "years65,year", year => 2009, years65 => "years65" },
    playAction => "play",
    playHoldAction => "play",
    style => "itemplay",
    text => "Play all",
    type => "playall",
  },
=============================

At least on Napster I don't see "itemplay" styles anymore so this has become more of an issue for me recently (Rhapsody still has them).

The basic intention is still the same: I need to tell tracks (playable items) apart from menus/other stuff.

I would especially like to be able to tell apart three types of items:
1. Tracks
2. Playlists
3. "Play All" items (since I create my own)
4. Other menu entries that do not play music.

Andy notes that Joerg's immediate problem should be fixable without this.  We will also move up the target for this feature.

Just to be sure: This is NOT the same issue as that "playback for playlists" issue I reported a few days back and which Andy just closed. 
THAT one was an error in playing a playlist (always) and affected iPeng and SP alike.
Probably a Napster issue back then.
