Anyone know if is there a way to have an empty line in playlist in front of each album?.. ex:

EMPTY LINE (OR ALBUM NAME)
01. track01
02. track01
03. track01
04. track01
05. track01
06. track01
etc
EMPTY LiNE (OR ALBUM NAME)
01. track01
02. track01
03. track01
04. track01
05. track01
06. track01

Not possible.

Edit: At least not in a sensible way tongue.gif
I had forgotten about that silence feature ssamadhi97 mentions below...

Only if you're willing to add the empty lines manually and put up with a 1 second pause between albums. It could work like this:

Use Add location.. to put a dummy track like silence://1 (one second of silence) between your albums.

And of course your playlist title formatting code will need to recognize these dummy tracks and display them appropriately. The following would work:

CODE
$if($stricmp(%_filename%,1),,
{your old playlist formatting code}
)


PS: adding the dummy track between albums will be easy if you use the copy+paste functionality provided by foo_utils. For example, use the Keyboard Shortcuts configuration to bind Ctrl+Insert to "[playlist / context] Edit/Copy tracks" and Shift+Insert to "[playlist / context] Edit/Insert tracks", then copy your silence.

Now highlight the first track of an album and insert the silence. Lather, rinse, repeat.

wouldn't it be possible for someone to make a plugin that somehow algorythmically adds the silence there and gives it the name you want?

The problem is not writing such a plugin, but finding some one who's bored (or interested) enough to actually do it. wink.gif
