Description munlinux 2007-08-17 10:38:49 UTC
Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If you have some songs in the playlist, and would like to create an *ordered* playlist out of those, in which some songs are repeated, whilst some are only played once, this is currently a bit too cumbersome to achieve.

(Unless I am missing a feature, ) Currently you have to search the song from (e.g.) the collection browser, and re-drag it to the playlist to get duplicate entries.

Within the playlist:
- A simple "drag & drop" re-organizes the playlist. Fine.
- "Shift+drag" does the same.
- "Ctrl+drag" does nothing apparently useful.
- In file browsers, shift or ctrl + drag (I don't remember which, might vary too) produces a copy. I'd find it very useful if the same (Shift, probably) behaviour could be applied within Amarok's playlist.
(- Even with this behaviour, people can still shift-select and control-select files, and after that a simple d&d operation (without shift or ctrl) moves the selection within the playlist, as can be expected.)

I know, I know, most bugs and wishlist items have been asking for easier *removal* of duplicate items, but... I hope you see the use for this request as well. :-)

(Example playlist:
- Start with your favourite for the moment, song A.
- Songs B, C, D.
- Repeat song A.
- Songs E, F, G.
- Repeat song A.)

An alternative to this would be being able to queue the same song more than once, which could also be useful, but - for one, would be a different request, and for two, would hit a limit in UI real estate, which is why I prefer the "copy drag & drop" suggestion above.

marking as dupe as the newer bug is more relevant to A2.
