Which playlists are you working on - the "standard pre-defined ones" or also the "smart playlists" that we know from iTunes?

While I only use iTunes nowadays for compatibility with my iPhone/iPad and have Minimserver as my main music server for my Akurate DS, I do feel that iTune could be looked at as a great example of functionality that I (we?) would like in Minimserver as well.

Just imagine that we would be able to define playlists in Minimserver, both the standard ones and the smart ones... This would have to be done within Minimserver, I guess somewhere in the Properties?

Of course, functionality for smart playlists would also imply a functionality where Minimserver watches the content of directories where music is stored, to make it possible to synchronize the smart playlist when the content of the music directories is changed.

You know - Minimserver is getting better and better with every new release :-)

The initial support will be for manually edited M3U and PLS playlists that are scanned as part of the music library. After that, I'm hoping to add support for automatic playlists such as "most recently added" and "most recently played".
