Hello again,

after reading the above mentioned discussions on the developers list saw a very
useful idea which would solve both the request for a "playlist browser" and a
queue manager without really implementing the one or the other. I īm talking
about tabbed playlists (which of course should support drag and drop).

This would greatly improve the possibilities of playlist management and - as a
side effect - provide a very useful queue management. You can have a playlist
named "queue" open next to the "real" playlist so you can rearrange songs
without something like an additional queue manager. You would also have all the
nice search and filter options which the actual playlist provides.

Other people may like the new possibility of filling several static playlists
just by dragging a song on the corresponding tab. Other people which dont like
this feature just won īt see it because if you don īt open new playlist tabs they
are hidden and the world is fine. This design would also fit with the rest of
amaroks layout which also provides tabbing.

The existing features in amarok which make use of the playlist dont need to be
touched because they just need to rely on the currently active playlist. So
other parts of amarok don īt even need to know if there are other playlists. The
playback of course can be a bit adjusted to the new possibilities by providing
"random active playlist" and "random all open playlists" options or some other
stuff (just suggestions).

What do other people think of this? This could be a useful and unique feature
which separates amarok even more from other players and maybe some of the
people (like me) also like to (mis)use it as a queue replacement.

Maik
