Send playlist data from Crate to Playlist Tracker #200

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
By far, the most requested feature among those polled in the DJ survey. Users 
want to be able to click a button and have crate ID3 data (plus label) 
transfered into their playlist. This could be sent immediately to form fields 
on the current Playlist Tracker page or to the proposed "on deck" area, to be 
submitted at the user's discretion. (This could reduce instances of the wrong 
song accidentally being entered.) Adding a "send to Playlist" feature to songs 
in the browsing section of the Database would also be helpful, in cases where 
it would save a step to not send it to Crate first.

Bonus points if we can have it auto-toggle checkboxes for rotation, local, etc.

Working on an idea...

Done. There is now a checkbox at the top of the playlist tracker "Allow 
receiving from DJ database." It is currently off by default. We need a way of 
ensuring that people who are using the dj database but not djing can't 
accidentally send info to the playlist tracker.

Why not just pre-fill the playlist tracker form fields but don't actually 
submit the form?  That would be safe and still convenient.  When ready, the DJ 
just has to hit submit.  That would also be the easiest to implement.

Also, Milan is working on a way to protect the Playlist Tracker when people 
aren't in the studio.  See issue 81

Now that send to playlist works, there should probably be a button to do so by 
every track, whether in your Crate or not -- in other words, if I look up an 
album's page, I should be able to click to send the track I want to play to the 
playlist without the added step of putting it in my Crate first. For obvious 
reasons, this would only apply to tracks and not albums.
