Display list of existing saved playlists when saving a playlist
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:24:23 UTC
It should be possible to select a name from a list of existing saved playlists when saving a playlist using the remote. At the moment you must always completely enter the name even if you simply want to save the songs of the now playing list to an existing playlist. So it is very complicated at the moment to simply add some new songs to an existing saved playlist. And there is a relatively big risk that the name is misspelled and a new playlist is created instead of saving the songs with an existing name (in particular since at the moment playlist names are case sensitive).
I'd also love to see this feature. If I may, here's a way I'd like to see this work: 1) Hold down the 'play' button while viewing "Now Playing" playlist 2) The display now shows a list of existing playlist names and an extra "New..." entry: New... 80s easy_listening kids_fast 3) If an existing name is selected, the display should show something like: Yes Overwrite No, Don't Overwrite Cancel 4) If "New..." is selected, the display should show what it does now and allow a new name to be manually entered. 5) If there's already a playlist with the same name as the one just manually entered, the display should show: Yes Overwrite No, Don't Overwrite Cancel 6) Selecting "No, Don't Overwrite" in either step 3 or 5 simply takes you back to the previous step. 7) Selecting "Cancel" in either step 3 or 5 takes you back to the "Now Playing" playlist. What do you think?
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
