Automatically append downloaded files to the current playlist #2

Closed tsani closed 7 years ago

See #1. With the refactor of /tracks proposed therein, we could implement a query-string parameter enqueue_at specifying that the acquired tracks should be enqueued at the given position. The position specifier would be the same as the position query-string parameter for PUT /playlist. Because we can't distinguish between a parameter being present but failing to parse and a parameter being absent, we will assume that that if enqueue_at is Nothing, then no enqueuing is to be performed. We can implement an additional query-string flag enqueue (no _at) whose value is ignored, but that serves to indicate that the default behaviour for PUT /playlist of enqueuing after the currently playing track in the playlist is desired.

Alternatively we can just say "too bad" because this can already be implemented client-side. (And has been implemented in the labdl script.)

As mentioned in the previous comment, we're not going to complicate the webservice API and instead just require clients to do this themselves.
