There should be a mechanism whereby you can create a "super-Playlist" of playlists, so that they play back in sequence, one after the other until you interrupt or the super-list finishes.

An example would be to allow the playlists of an individual artist's albums to be chained to allow *all* the tracks for that artist to play back in a continuous chain, without you losing the ability to group tracks by album.

You can do this already
I've got top level playlists of Artists, with their Album's as sub playlists.
eg,

The Egg -> Albumen -> Albumen Tracks
-> Travelator -> Travelator Tracks

In this way, I can play All by an Artist or just an Album.
I also have a top level Item Called Techno, with Albums by Juno Reactor, Eat Static etc in it, so I can play a whole Genre =)

Aggh! How come I didn't see this? I have exactly the same structural arrangement as you have. I suppose that an "Artists/Names ordered by alphabet/Albums" superlist of superlists is the thing to build now, in parallel with my "By Genre" structure, referencing the same album playlists. Smart cookie!

I suppose I should have sussed this from the "empeg-car" superlist. Well spotted, thanks!

No problem... Now all we need is that hierarchical playlists interface to make it easier to navigate.. =)

My thoughts exactly on the matter... {8^)

I have just tried it out, and whaddaya know? The simplest solutions are often the best.
