Drag from playlist, and a "next" queue

Emon2 · 19th September 2003, 10:54

I often need the files I'm playing, either for copying, sending, renaming or something. It would be nice if I could just drag them from the playlist and over to another program or Windows Explorer.

Another thing I do a lot is bladdering the playlist, seeing a song I want to hear next, and another I want to hear after that... but not immediately. Would be nice to have a right-click menu option in the playlist named "play next". If you added several they would be queued after one another. When all the files in the "next" files have been played, normal list advance happens (i.e. shuffle or normal).

One third menu option would be to rename a file from the playlist, i.e. both renaming the physical file and updating the link in the playlist.

Great program, just some ideas.

i support the dragging idea, hope the developers agree.
(the other ideas are not in my interest, but for some they could be useful too.)

The "que next" option from the playlist is my most wanted wish! However, after it plays, the playlist must resume from its original spot! Either that, or have the file that is "qued next" moved into the next slot, so it isn't played again later, if it was further down on the list. I don't use shuffle play, since I can "pre-shuffle" the loaded playlist, get the same results, and I always know what song is coming up next! I also wish this option could be added to the "jump to" or "search" option as a right-click option. You hit "J" to find your song, then right-click on it, and have the option to have that song play next, or better yet, moved into the next to be played slot! (even make it a double-click default setting). The way the search option works now makes NO sense to me, since clicking on a song only interrupts the songs currently playing, and by-passes the rest of the playlist!

(This que-next topic has been discussed alot, for quite some time by alot of people, but nothings happening...and it doesn't appear to have been implemented in new Winamp 2.95 / Winamp 5 either...)
