Option to NOT include playlist items into library
« on: September 15, 2024, 12:58:37 PM »
When drag & drop a new track into the playlist window, it gets automatically added to the library.

This messes your library a bit, if you just listen to some tracks to see if they fit your taste before adding them in your collection.

In old winamp, there was the possibility to not add the playlist tracks to the lib, was very useful for test-listening tracks

Preferences -> Media Library -> Local Library -> Options tab -> un-check "Automatically add played files to the database
(When disabled playcounts are only stored by the history plug-in)" which iirc is in a similar place in the preferences vs what 5.666's ml_local plug-in had offered.
