Playlists suggestions

Suggestions for the local Library BluOS playlists:

1. Option to add something to the beginning of the playlist, rather than the end. That way I could add a new album to the top of the playlist, then continue to listen to other recently-added albums. I don't see any workaround here, except to add each album in the desired order and create a new playlist, or to use Add Next and laboriously move each track of the new album to the top of the playlist.

2. Option to select, then move or delete, multiple tracks. That way I could move or delete whole albums at once, instead of track-by-track, tediously.

3. Option to rename playlists. The inability to rename a playlist leads me to a convoluted workaround: to play the playlist, save the queue as a new playlist, then delete the original.

4. Option to add a playlist to the currently playing queue. Again, no workaround except to start over.

5. The Holy Grail: smart playlists. Please.

  Some workarounds...
  Select Add Next

  When you select the Add Next option from the context menu (3 dots), the selected track is added to the queue under the Up Next section to be played back next without clearing the existing Play Queue. But it does not create an Autofill function.
  Note: When you select Add Next from the context menu (3 dots) of an Album. The entire album is added to the Up Next section.

  Also use the middle icon at the bottom of the play queue (with a pencil) to enter edit mode and rearrange tracks...

  Can I use this workaround to add another playlist to the existing queue?

  Hi Alain - we hope to restore the ability to Add a Playlist to the existing queue in the near future. We are still a few weeks out but look for it to return.

  No to adding a playlist to the existing queue. See point 4 above.

  The problem with the "Add Next" workaround I've already noted in point 1 above. If you agree, please upvote my original post.
