Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: minor
I'm using audacious because xmms isn't packaged anymore.
One feature I used was the custom playlist string, and I was
happy to find that audacious has something similar.
But I wasn't able to implement my normal format:
Artist - Album - [TrackNum] Title
Where TrackNum is zero-padded. This leads to a natural playlist order
which allows playing whole albums without having separate playlists.
Not being able to do that means that tracks from a single album are
listed in this order:
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
1
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
29
2
30
....
So it would be great if some or all of the following could be implemented:
1) Documentation for the custom playlist format string (nothing in the man page,
FAQ, website, or the application itself as far as I could tell).
2) Formatting options for values (space and zero padding, truncation, and left/right justification).
3) A way to provide an xmms-compatible format string.
