Title: bookmarks in a playlist
Post by: bfisher on July 15, 2005, 04:05:19 pm

I would like (and have been unable to find a way) to play all the way through a playlist only 1 time, spread out over many days, without duplicating songs played previously.

I have 3 playlists with over 1000 songs on each.  I would like to pick up where it last left off (for example, today I played songs 1 to 33.  tomorrow I want to play 34 through 41.  next day 42 through 64. etc).

Is there a way to do this?  I can't find any way to do it, other than manually deleting songs off the playlist each time I'm finished (not an optimal way to do this).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Only way to do that is to keep the songs in "Playing Now" and dont delete em from there...MC should remember where u left off

thanks... but that means I can't change playlists (or it messes up the Playing Now).

You could use a pen and a piece of paper and make notes.  ;D

... or you could clear the "Number Plays" fields (in Action Window > Tag Info > Number Plays) and make a smartlist that shows only the unplayed files in your playlist.

If you don't like to clear the playcounts you could use this expression instead:

-[last played]=<=2880

It excludes the files played within the last 48 hours. Using the number 1440 would change it to 24 hours.

Thanks Alex - this (last suggestion, using last played) would work excellent for my needs.  I will work on implementing this!  Thanks!
