Button to remove or add to playlist

Post by *JimmyTheBroker »

Hi guys.

I am using .m3u files for my playlists, using relative lists, like the following:
  • ..\MusicBee Library\Music\Red Hot Chili Peppers\Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin’.mp3
    ..\MusicBee Library\Music\Hilltop Hoods\Hilltop Hoods - Cosby Sweater Restrung.mp3
    ..\MusicBee Library\Music\Foo Fighters\Foo Fighters - Best of You.mp3
I keep the playlists within
/storage/118-8DB5/98 - Exported Playlists/
  • Favourites(Playlist).m3u
    Guitar(Playlist).m3u
    Gym(Playlist).m3u
    Lyrics(Playlist).m3u
    Spanish(Playlist).m3u
    Trance(Playlist).m3u
All the songs are kept as:
(On phone)
/storage/118-8DB5/MusicBee Library/Music/<Artist>/<Artist> - <Title>.mp3
(On Computer)
/C:Userpath/MusicBee Library/Music/<Artist>/<Artist> - <Title>.mp3



I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to create

1) Command Button that removes the current playing song from the Current playlist.
2) Command Button that Adds the Current Playing Song to a pre-specified playlist
3) Deletes current playing song permanently off the phone (I know this is possible with multiple button presses, but would prefer it to be quicker.)


Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,

Just open the play list in the player, then you can remove tracks from it via context menu. Or add tracks via "+".

Thanks Mr. ghisler
But the above only seems to work for adding songs to the current playlist that is currently playing.

To remove a song, I need to hold down the selected song>Remove> Three Dots> Save playlist>type the playlist name >ok >overwrite>ok..
Is it possible to make a command to remove the current playing song from the active playlist.


Still looking for ideas around the others:
2) Command Button that Adds the Current Playing Song to a pre-specified playlist
3) Deletes current playing song permanently off the phone (I know this is possible with multiple button presses, but would prefer it to be quicker.)

On android I didn't find a way yet.

On Windows, I'm using TC only to build (add files to) playlists.
For listening & delete active song, I use external media players, with global keyboard shortcuts.
I've assigned a global key-combo to delete current playing item, and it works.

I'm using now foobar2000 on Windows, and deadbeef on linux.

I also think TC has 95% of the functionality of playlist manager & player.

Such a plugin would only need 2 abilities:

1. track currently playing song (when song ends, move cursor to current song)
2. when song finished playing, actively play the next song (based on selected order, or random)

All the rest is already implemented.
