Sure, here it is:
1] Launch Playlist Manager - menu option or second icon in the bottom toolbar or simply press the
P key - P no longer controls the volume, use the side keys for that.
2] Select/highlight the playlist whose songs you want to organize.
3] Hit the
O key. The playlist is automatically
Opened (displayed) and the
Organize mode is enabled.
Organize is displayed at the top, next to "Playlist Manager". If you hit
O again,
Organize mode is toggled off and the playlist is closed, i.e. you go back to the list of playlists.
4] Highlight a song and press a number corresponding to the position you want the song to take (the position numbers are displayed before each song for your convenience). The song will jump to that position automatically. If the number you intend is greater than 9 (two digits), press Shift before the numbers, so the song will be moved automatically only after you press two number keys. Examples: press 3 and the song jumps to 3rd place; press Shift+1+2 and the song jumps to the 12th place. You can do that forever until you toggle off
Organize mode and exit the playlist, back to the list of playlists. Zero or Del removes the song from the playlist.
5] When you've finished organizing (now viewing the list of playlists), press the
X (eXecute) key to play the currently highlighted playlist or
A to add that playlist to the end of the current queue (NowPlaylist). Alternatively, press the
Q (Quit) key to go back to the player (rather then back each damn step in the configuration screens). Note that the modified playlist is always saved automatically, even if you press the Quit key.
Q no longer controls the volume, use the side keys for that.
There is plenty of room for improvement in this app regarding menus, commands and shortcuts. I could talk about it all day.
BTW, are you aware of the thirty-six minute bug? I can't seek further into the song (actually, a podcast) than 36 minutes. The player goes back to the beginning when I try.
I also
CRAVE a decent seek command in all the media players that I have tested. I need to be able to go back just 5 or 10 seconds. One minute is way too much. I really want to have that. Badly. Please. I will buy the license
again if you let me have that.
How about the Symbol key? It's not used anyway. It would be a wonderful skip-back shortcut.
Beta test the latest mediaPlayer: last.fm supported :)
