Based on the this conversation http://groups.drupal.org/node/145189 it looks like there's a lot of overlap between a playlist feature and the core discography feature. Providing a way for fans to create, share, or even download playlists from an artists music library would be pretty valuable. An evolving feature list can be found here - http://drupalkata.com/music/node/1796

What do you think?

As with #1226226: Importing/exporting discography, I think work on this feature could also go towards reviving an existing module - http://drupal.org/project/playlist

This seems useful. A playlist feature, that works similar to the old playlist module would be a good approach I think.

Fending should have playlists working on a client site in the next few days. After that, possibly we can lure him into being maintainer or co-maintainer of the playlist module. Guess we'd have to see what the current maintainer thinks, but I'm pretty sure he'll be easy to locate (;

Does that sound like a good plan?

There looks to be some progress with #1222844: Provide an action for creating an archive of selected files which may allow Views Bulk Operations (VBO) to be a component for downloadable playlists. Hopefully we'll be testing soon.

I'm listing this as a future component since I'm not against playlists as an add-on feature per se, there just isn't anything fully baked I'd consider including in a distro atm. Entity Reference + a playlist content type might be worth exploring.

Anyone have any experiences or how-to's they can share about setting up playlists on their site?

here is an initial attempt at exporting work from the musiclibrary. seems it uses nodereference instead of entity reference though (just like pushtape music)

I just tried this out and it was missing a dependency: Pushtape_music_audiofile (missing)

http://drupal.org/node/1476866. its only the mediafield though
next i will start experimenting with media soundcloud and soundcloud field.

Another idea for implementing playlists, it's an entity reference widget with a popup to select items to add.

is entityreference_view_widget the only way to try having a playlist feature over audio/video files? any updates?

is it possible to use mediafront for a custom (video) playlist option?

or will there be a pushtape player instead? (http://drupal.org/node/1818224) if so, will it have a customizable playlist option for users?
