Allow to play song from filesystem view #83

Closed ustraub closed 5 years ago

ustraub commented 5 years ago

Hi, I believe it would be nice to play a song directly from the filesystem view with one click. In other words a button "play song" is missing.

Currently it seems necessary to add all files and directorires (from the filesystem view) to the playlist, and then select the song from the playlist. This is complicated and counter intuitive. Furthermore the directory structure is lost in the playlist view.

In the playlist view I see a list of 1000 entries without structure, while in the filesystem view the directory structure of the local files is visible. It is clear that a structured list showing directories (filesystem view) is much easier navigateable than an unstructured list showing only the artist/album.

It this a feature or a bug? The program and the GUI is intended to be small and easy to use (which is very good!), therefore I think the missing button is more a bug than a feature.

myMPD is only a frontend. mpd plays only tracks from the queue. Therefore you must add songs or playlists to the queue before they can be played. In myMPD you have the option "Replace queue" that plays the song instantly if mpd is playing. A autoplay feature is on the roadmap.
