Default Version 1.1.7 - Playlists

I'm pleased to introduce the new feature of playlists. From most grids that list songs in the site, a "Listen in playlist" button now appears at the top of the grid. By clicking on this button, a new window appears with all the songs in the grid arranged in a playlist. Once the user clicks the play button, the songs will play in the order sorted in the grid until playback is stopped, the window is closed, or 50 songs are played.

Playlists are created based upon whatever is shown in the grid when you click the button. If you want to create a playlist of only Final Fantasy music, then search for songs with an influence of Final Fantasy and click the "Listen in playlist" button. If you only want to listen to Another Toad's songs, then search for his username and click the button. If you want to listen to songs in descending order of rating, then sort by the "rating" column and click the button. Or, if you want to listen to the most recently uploaded songs, go to the homepage and click the button in the "Recently uploaded songs" grid.

You can also listen to people's toplists in this way. Just visit their profile pages and click the button above the user's toplist grid.

If you like a song that you're listening to on a playlist, then click the "info" button in the player in the lower left corner of the window. You'll be directed to the song's full details page, where you can read more and rate the song.

I scheduled an update to process later this evening, so the feature should be available in six hours or so once the upload is finished and the tests return no errors. Note that I do not have the ability to test on Macs or Windows XP. Please forward bug reports if you're using one of these system configurations and the playlists aren't working right.
