Feature: Playlist support
It would be really great to have a way to enter a url for a playlist/file source. Perhaps to a specific format json file that could have groups of files listed. Sort-of the way that it does the hierarchical view of modarchive. I've got my favorites at http://umlautllama.com/mods and would be 100% into adding the required file to list out the files for testing, etc.
You can already for a single file (if it's served over HTTPS) use the file= parameter. E.g. https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/?file=https://modland.com/pub/modules/Fasttracker%202/Reed/a%20synthetic%20device.xm Support for playlists is a cool idea. I intended Bassoontracker more as a tracker instead of a player, but I must say I use it myself as a player too, so ... It will probably in the form of a "Jukebox" plugin, where - apart from supplying your own playlist - you can select "genre" or "composer" or "rating" etc.
Fair enough, wrt single files. I'd just like to use it to play through a collection, or share my collection, etc. I would almost always use protracker, etc to play the files, rarely for editing ;)
Hm. Or "drag a bunch of files in" to create a live playlist. That would be good as an option as well.
It would be awesome if you use localStorage as a way to bookmark songs directly in the app.
Maybe a playlist can be a type of a bookmark that stores a list of them. But then that playlist becomes local to the user - they cant share it.
Assuming that you can strip the song urls, this could help with storing the playlist in the url field to make it share-able. Theres unfortunately a limit to the number of characters in that field
Excellent idea and easy to implement.
