Title: Add unique to playing now
Post by: Diverdown1964 on June 05, 2003, 07:56:26 am

I have several palaylist, mostly (but not always) based on mood. Quite often, I want to play a mixture of more than one playlist. Right now, I add all of them to playing now, and then reshuffle.

However, I've noticed that in the cases where the same song is in more than one of the playlists, it is added twice, which is undesirable.

Any chance that we could get an "Add unique to playing now" option? Or am I just missing something?

Thanks

Just build a smartlist including those playlists if you don't want duplicates.

Using the wizard makes quick work of it.

I have the reverse problem.  If I have a song in the Plaing Now more than once, then save this as a Playlist, MC removes the duplicates.

Is there any way to allow duplicates in a Playlist?

Playlists don't currently allow duplicate entries.

We hope to remove this restriction in a coming version.

Version 9.1 will allow the same song in the same playlist multiple times.   Look for a first beta sometime in the next week or two.
