Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] play queue

["Christophe Dehais" <christophe dehais gmail com>]

Maybe shuffle in the play queue could be handled separately,
effectively changing its semantic to a 'bag' where songs are being
removed randomly.

Also I really can't see the point why duplicated songs were not
allowed in the first place. What use case this feature (or lack of)
breaks ?

I see the PlayQueue as a 'would be' playlist. If it comes that a
session was interesting enough to be save as a playlist, then the user
should be given the chance to save it for re-use.
So I agree that the main problem is how this feature is advertised to
the user. It feels more like a sandbox where everything is possible,
than something with strong restrictions and some very particular (not
to say limited) use cases.


cheers,
Christophe
