"Convert" it into a playlist? Care to elaborate?

Why ssssoitanly.

Let's start with the following assumption:

- The current running order of tracks is stored on the scratch partition as a bunch of binary information that essentially amounts to a list of FIDs.

- The Bookmarks are stored in a similar fashion.

- There has been some research time put into learning how the running order is stored, and the empeg guys have been helpful in giving us tips on the format.

- A playlist is merely a collection of FIDs.

- The format for creating FIDs and playlists is well known, and there are already third party tools that let us do that.

So in theory, we could read one of the bookmarks (or the current running order) by looking at the scratch partition and extracting the list of FIDs. Once we have that list, it's trivial to create a playlist out of it.

Purpose:

Suppose I've used the Insert/Enqueue/Append features to create a playlist "live" realtime instead of through emplode. Or perhaps I've shuffled my whole player and I've used the "Hate album" tweak to remove certain albums from the running order. Or perhaps some combination of the above. Now I've got a really nice running order (either saved as the current running order or saved as a bookmark), and I'd like to make a real playlist out of that, something I can further edit in emplode and which doesn't use up a bookmark slot.

Of course, I'm doing the usual "asking for something for nothing" routine here of suggesting a programming project that I've got no intention of doing myself...
