Playlist View in Media Library - Sub-Categories?

Breaking-Space · 28th May 2004, 10:26

I apologize if this is already some feature buried deep within the preferences, but I couldn't find a way to do it.

Right now, when you click on the Playlists heading in the Media Library, you get:

Playlists
|
|--Progressive Metal
|--Industrial Metal
|--Goa
|--Balearic House
|--Hard Acid
|--Gabber
|--Ambient

etc...

Being as I have a huge amount of playlists that span probably 80 sun-genres of electronic music, I want a way to have sub-categories for playlists. For example:

Playlists
|
|-Metal
| |--Industrial Metal
| |--Progressive Metal
|-Trance
| |--Goa
| |--Gabber
| |--Hard Acid
| |--Ambient
|-House
| |--Balearic House

Where "Metal", "Trance", and "House" are sub-categories with playlists in them. They can be collapsed and expanded at will. Also, you can double-click on a sub-category and queue all the items in the playlists under that sub-category. You could still have playists that are not under a subcategory as well. Maybe make the subcategory names bold so that they stand out from non-sub'ed playlists?

Let me know if this makes any sense.

Ok, this is apparently covered already in the official wishlist, I just read that part of it wrong the first time.

Sorry.
