[Navigation] on-the-fly playlist creation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

feature request:

would it be possible to add on-the-fly playlist creation to the music player?
currently, when playing a track, you can get back to the track selection
screen by pressing the ps button then browse for another track to play.
this is fine but it would be great if you could select tracks to add to a
virtual playlist which would be created server side in the form of an .m3u
which pms already supports.

i would expect pms to always look at this file for playlist info and if
none exists then act normally, but once you've added files to it from the
file browser on the ps3, it would play the files in that order.

deleting/removing files from this playlist would be a different matter  but
im sure it would be fixable.

thanks

is there no way to have the playlist on the server side? when you select a 
track, a
command must be sent to ps3mediaserver to tell it to play the track. if that 
command
could in some way be 'queue' and not 'play' then the file/file location could be
added to a dynamic .m3u file which then dishes out the files one after the 
other. the
only problem i can see in this is having enough different commands that can be 
sent
to ps3mediaserver. im not trying to argue, you know better than i do. i'm just 
trying
to help.

i want to be able to queue up my next track while one is playing.
so a track is playing... i can get back to file browser without stopping the 
music,
but that's it. I want to play a track, browse for another while it's playing, 
hit
'queue', browse for another, hit 'queue' etc... building up a playlist.

i understand the ps3's funtionality in this area is lacking, but id be happy to 
take
a 'rough' playlist feature over nothing. I dont need to see the playlist, or 
edit it.
I just need to mark a file up somehow as being next in the queue.

sorry if im not explaining it well

"hit 'queue'" ?? but there's no way to "mark" such file on ps3, only with ps3 
own 
playlists who supports only tracks stored on hard drive

i realise there's no 'queue' button but i wondered if there was any other 
button you
could use for the signal, like the pause button, or the fast forward button (on 
the
ps3 remote) if there was another button that sent any type of signal then that 
could
be used. it's a long shot but i thought it was worth asking you about.
