Parallel playlists

What i would like is if i have a playlist in one part of the tree and the same playlist in another part of the tree like REM is under rock but also in the girlfriends play list can be kept the same. So if get a new album and add it to the REM playlist under rock it automatically appears in the playlist in my girlfriends playlist.

Or another situation is i sort my tracks out under two methods A to Z so i have playlists for ABC, DEF etc and i also have them sorted out as per type so Beatles is under ABC and also "classic rock"

This would be nice otherwise i have to remeber this kind of thing so it is an upgrade to the empeg or an upgrade to my brain

if i have a playlist in one part of the tree and the same playlist in another part of the tree

I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime. This feature won't be new in v1.1.

If I understand what you're asking, it already does this in v1.0x. Simply create the REM playlist. Put some stuff in it. Now, copy the REM playlist (not the contents) to another part of the playlist tree.

Now modify either "copy" of REM -- you'll find that it's the same playlist.


Roger - not necessarily speaking for empeg

there is only one reply to this and it only needs one word


DOOOOoooohhh

That's pretty cool I didn't know that either.

Thanks.

That...is tremendously cool.

just say you weren't paying much attention...

So it actually copies the playlist not just clones it?

I don't think, therefore I am not.

Neither. It simply makes another link to it.

Everything in Emplode is a link. Links to songs, links to playlists. Playlists contain some parameters and then a bunch of links.

Even the very first copy of something (song, playlist, whatever) is just a link to the actual file. So no one link is the "original" link, they're all just links to the file that contains the data (which never moves).

So when you make a copy of something, you're just making another link. So when the thing-you-linked changes, then it changes for all the links that point to it.
