Playlist feature?

[ackledotdev]

It's what it sounds like.

I'm willing to work on it if it would be accepted.

Plan:

• use jsoning for database
• store keyed arrays of objects followig the following schema:

interface PlaylistSongEntry {
  name: string;
  /* optional? */
  artist: string;
  /* don't know how this works, but something along these lines */
  youtubeIdentifier: string;
}

Each playlist would follow this type:

type PlaylistData = PlaylistSongEntry[];

Then we could (optionally) construct a class for better management—this might be unnecessary.

Sounds cool , go ahead and implement it!
just make sure you have a limit on the number of playlists being created + don't actually download the whole playlist locally , just each track at a time

[ackledotdev]

right of course. don't want legal trouble :)

@ackledotdev questions : so when you playlists , you mean to manually create a playlist ( by manually adding songs) or to just play the actual playlists" from yt ? ( cause if its the second one , I "think"( sorry its been really long since i even looked into this code) the yt package which i was using , I filtered it out to specifically show songs only and not albums or playlists )

[ackledotdev]

Sorry, I should've clarified. It's all local. Playlists would really just be arrays of song identifiers stored locally, and the only communication with YouTube is to retrieve a song and play it.

If I need to explain further, feel free to ask 🙂

Sounds cool!
