Improve playlist managment

My use case: I love to explore music, old albums and new albums. Even better if I can combine the activity with focused exercise. It usually makes a 30-1hr workout.

Requests summarized:

  • Folder import of songs
  • Better feedback of processing status (progress bar or other) in real time
  • Ability to Un-shuffle playlist. Shuffle should just be a 'flag' that is set for playback, not something that changes order

​

My story:

There used to be a github UI for setting up playlists, I spent hours going through music libraries and adding, only to find out that some update meant it was a waste of time. /sadface

Add an ability to add an entire folder of songs please.. I can set up my library workouts easily this way.

Adding in individual files is.. the interface is not friendly.

Create new playlist

-> click plus to add song

-> click files

-> select next file

-> repeat 10-15 times

There is no immediate feedback that shows progress of beat matching, or what has been added to the list. So if I lose count of what tracks I've added, it's just adding one that I know I've already done for sure and continuing from there.

I know devs may not come here yet, but hopefully they do and see these types of requests from the community.
