[PLAYLIST]: add playlist support #7

Closed artemanufrij closed 6 years ago

Is this intended to be like the playlist feature in VLC? This is currently the only reason why I am still using VLC instead of playmymusic or elementary music. I have a lot of music on my NAS perfectly sorted in a good folder structure, which is not always available to my Laptop. Therefore a library maintained by a music app is not working for me. It would be nice to be able to just drag folders to the music player without it being added to a library.

Hey @k4r7u, you can already import music files into Music Player. Options -> Import Music.... It's an import of path's into database and not a file copy.

Yes, I am aware of that. The issue for me is, that when my NAS is not available, I have a really big library not available to me, but shown in the player. Therefore, I would like to just drag and drop a folder containing for example an Album to a playlist view. Then, I can just remove the tracks again from the playlist view. So, basically my library is folder based and not based on id3 tags. I just drop whatever I want to listen to to a temporary playlist. That way I am not depended on a local managed library, but can access the folder structure from whatever device and platform I like. I am aware, that most people prefer a locally managed library based on id3 tags and not on the folder structure. Nevertheless this would be a really cool feature.
