[REQ] - Remove Song From Playlists Requires Too Much Effort

Post by creativconfusion »

On MMW, if I realize a song has made its way into the wrong playlist, I can open its properties, see the playlists it is in, and uncheck whichever playlists I want to remove it from.

In MMA, regardless of the playlist you started playing from, you are typically looking at the now playing list. This means that if you remove a track you are only removing it from the now playing list. If a song comes on that i want removed from its original playlist, i need to navigate back, scroll through the original playlist of 2000 some songs, find the track and delete it from the list.

Is there any way you could implement the playlist checkboxes under the properties dialogue of tracks? Then we could just uncheck a playlist and the song would be removed from that list.

It just seems awful easy to add songs to playlists, but when it comes to removing them it is a monumental task.

Just today I came across 3 songs in my Alt. list that didn't belong there. The first two i went through the ordeal of removing ... by the third one i just wrote it on a post-it note so that i could remove it in MMW when i got home because its such a pain.

Please help !!!
Thanks.

So no one else here minds scrolling through a list of 2000 songs (which arent necessarily alphabetized) to find one they want to remove?!

Although I do all my maintenance of playlists in MMW I can see where it would be nice to be able to remove from playlist on the phone and have that go back to MMW. Maybe have Add/Remove/Moveto radio control where normally just Add.

I think it's a good idea, though we're not really looking at adding more features until 1.0.4 is completed.

Please consider this my vote for the same implementation. It would be great to have a context menu pop up when a track is selected that would let you remove it from its respective playlists, rather than just the now playing playlist.
