  • Implement a playlist save and load feature.

  • Display the list of songs in the playlist in the GUI

Thinking of implementing this feature using the PlaylistsNet library to support M3U playlist files. Inside the MusicSharp TUI, there would need to be options to:

  • Add files to a playlist.
  • Remove files from a playlist.
  • Load a playlist.

Note: See https://github.com/tmk907/PlaylistsNET/issues/10 for a current minor issue involving an optional tag, and test before integrating this library into the project.

I actually ended up going with the ATL Dotnet library as it is more mature and offers better documentation. See this branch for progress:

Playlist loading has been implemented successfully.

The next step is to think about how playlist saving will work. Currently, if you open a playlist and then a new file, the new file doesn't get added to the existing playlist. Maybe it should, and users have the option to save a snapshot of the playlist in this state (using a dialog box)?
