Default playlist

Is kJams missing a feature you need? Post it here! Note: if iTunes has it but kJams doesn't, it's a good bet kJams will have it, but that I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But go ahead and request it anyway!

Default playlist

Post by DeusExMachina »

Adding a playlist for each singer that acts as their default Tonight list would be very convenient. One click loads all songs in that playlist to Tonight.
Alternately, a marking/flag system in History for the same effect.

an interesting idea.

here's something that i could do quickly:

allow "label" to be a singer's song meta. ie: each singer can label songs to a color, and that doesn't affect the way other singers label their songs, nor does it affect the library. only within that singer does a song get that label color.

then, you can mark all the "default faves" for a singer to some color.. then go to their history, sort by that color, and bingo, you can just select those and drag to the Tonight.

i know, not one click by a long shot, but gets you there?

Are you restricted to colors or are you able to do Mavericky user-defined labels? (Because, then, of course, accomplishing the rest programmatically should be straight-froward.
The reservation, of course, is that loading the venue already is a huge bottleneck, and I wonder how much slower this would make that.

the current (read: easy to implement) incarnation includes only the existing colors

There might be other interesting uses for that, but not sure as far as this is concerned, that it gets you much more than just sorting on frequency.

Hmm, how about just a command to "add Favorites" to Tonight?

that can actually be done in a python script methinks (complete with keyboard shortcut!)
