Now, what I'm talking about is creating playlists.

Say I'm riding with someone new and they are in the mood for a particular type of music. Sorry, you'll have to look through my 4000 track collection after every song you play because you can't make a playlist now.

Then there's your own convenience. Say that I was in the mood for the Beatles and the album "Talk Show" (by Talk Show) because I wanted to see the influence the Beatles had on the band. I could create a playlist with a Beatles album and the Talk Show album and then randomize it.

What would be so hard about it?

Here's an example for how it might work: make one of the main menu options "Playlist Mode". You then go through your collection, and by simply playing a track or other playlist, it gets added to the list being created, just like enqueueing songs in Winamp instead of playing them automatically. Then when you say you're finished, then name the new list and it's stored where you want it or in a permanent directory for sans-emplode created playlists. Then if you wanted to move it later, you could do so in emplode.

I really don't see what the big deal with something like this would be, and it seems like something that would easily be done. I'm not talking about doing all this while driving, either. That would be stupid.

No, I don't own an empeg, but I still think this is something that should be implemented. Heck, you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
