Thanks for getting this added.

No rusty I want to keep multi select it is useful when removing songs from playlists after you find they have been double listed.

It is simply that they complain because they don't know you have to set the playlist widget to a playlist for it to start that playlist. Which is why it opens the menu of playlists the first time you place the widget on the home screen.

I also like the new home screen playlists I don't understand why people think it just browses to the playlist? It starts the list playing for me.

I would also like to be able to make a button on the MMA home screen go direct to a (UPnP) playlist, rather than having to browse to it. For me, that would be better than a Android home screen shortcut icon.

The new home screen playlists are what I wanted when you first made mma, so the playlists issues is fixed for me. Thanks.

I wonder whether the feature request wouldn't be to be able to select _any_ item, e.g. Artist, Album, Genre, Podcast, etc.? I.e. to let the user to browse MMA with a specific button still visible - and when pressed, the current item would be chosen. That said, I'm not sure whether it isn't overly complicated...

I don't suppose you could make this work for a UPnP playlist.

fyi, this was added in the last build.

It's still on our todo list--but our focus has been fixing existing issues rather than adding new features. We'll see if we can fit it into this release, but no promises...

Hi all,
It seems like sync is getting pretty stable, so I just thought I'd check in and see if there's any word on when the functionality to create homescreen shortcuts to playlists might show up. Any news?

I'm really eager to dump my other media player and use MMA full time. I'm big on automation though, and since since apps like Tasker and various NFC readers can trigger homescreen shortcuts automatically, home screen shortcuts for playlists are essential to having my devices automatically start playing specific music in specific situations. MMA would be my go to player if it just offered those shortcuts.

Aside from that, I'm enjoying using what you've created thus far. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, and I like your idea to include NFC support. Although, I think as long as you provide standard home screen shortcuts, other programs can already handle launching them via NFC for us. I'm not sure you'd really have to build that in, but I guess if you can make it smoother, all the better.

Even it is not exactly like you ponted here I have added this feature to our to-do list for feature evaluation.

I'm a bit disappointed that this feature still hasn't shown up. It seems to be a basic feature of every other media player out there. Here's a screenshot showing how you'd add these shortcuts for PlayerPro, Play Music, Moto's stock player, and WinAmp. Is there some reason MMA can't offer this as well?
