Daniel wrote a short page on playlists, including how to generate playlists using `find`: https://cooltech.zone/tangara/docs/playlists/

LMK if it's good! LMK if you have other tips to add! I want to write a section on generating playlists using beets, but I haven't written it yet.

Ah this is useful, thanks! I started writing a tool a while ago for generating podcast playlists from RSS feeds. It's stalled a bit because I'm still waiting for my Tangara but I will get back to it at some point in the next month or so.

In case this is useful to anyone other than me:

And the issue tracking the main blockers for it to actually be useful:

Very cool! I think a lot of the Tangara-side support items are things that are on our radar already too, which is nice. Feel free to put some more issues in our tracker on codeberg for anything blocking you; I'd *love* to be able to use my Tangara for podcasts instead of my phone.

Thanks. I think it's all being tracked more or less, but I will have another whizz through when I get a spare minute to have a look

I want to jump on this with a bug report. I'm on v1.1.2, and playlists just aren't working for me.

I created a playlist, `Trans Mountain Game.playlist`, with the following test contents:

Music/Lena Raine/Celeste_ Original Soundtrack/01 Prologue.mp3
Music/Lena Raine/Celeste_ Original Soundtrack/02 First Steps.mp3

(UTF-8 encoded, unix line endings).

and placed that at the root of my SD card. Meaning at this point, my SD card at the very least looks like:

/Music/Lena Raine/Celeste_ Original Soundtrack/01 Prologue.mp3
/Music/Lena Raine/Celeste_ Original Soundtrack/02 First Steps.mp3
/Trans Mountain Game.playlist

When I attempt to select the playlist via the file browser, it doesn't play anything, but cycles each entry ("1/2" then "2/2"). Like it's not finding the files and is just skipping each entry as a result. I tried prepending `/` to each entry. Still doesn't work.

Just to double check that it wasn't some weird encoding issue, I tried copying the playlist from the `.cache.playlist` at the root of the sd card to to a different playlist file and attempting to play that. Same behavior.

(Also, I love my gay music player! Thank you so much!)

It seems some recent changes have broken playlists. Whoops. Thanks for the report, I'll look into it and fix it ASAP.
