2 years ago Hi,
you are right playlist handling is not the strongest part of odyssey.
We developed odyssey based on our needs and neither of us was using playlists so we only have a basic support for it.
The '+' button will add the playlist content to the current playlist.
Currently the only way to add songs to a playlist is to load the playlist in the current playlist add the songs you want and save it again.
I hope I will have some time again soon for odyssey and might look into how to improve playlist handling.

Once the queue is saved as a playlist, how to add more songs to it?
Long-pressing a song in a saved playlist shows "Remove song". Seems right. But I don't see an "Add song" counterpart.
In the saved playlist view there's a "+" button at the top right, which when tapped shows "Please wait..." for a milisecond and then seems to do nothing. Could this be it? (In which case this might be a bug report)
The whole UI around playlists is very different from other players and confusing, despite the rest of the app being really good. Many people have reported this earlier: #229 #184 #2 #13
The UX story should be pretty intuitive: Select one or more songs (long-press?), "Add to playlist" (which may be existing or new) -- that's it :)
