Add new songs to deadbeef playlist

Frabato · 2014-09-03 05:29:20

Hi,

How do you add new songs to the deadbeef playlist. All of my music is in one folder. If I add music from eight new cd's, do I have to remember which ones they are and then navigate to my music folder and pick out the specific files to add? I have been deleting the playlist and then adding the folder again. I really like this player but with over 25,000 files it's more than a minor inconvenience waiting for everything to reload before I can hear some music. Any suggestions on a good way to handle this?

Thanks!

You might want to look at mpd, its library controlled by a gui/mpd-client like ncmpcpp lets you sort, filter, add/remove and play your collection in a more efficient way I would argue. There is also MusicBrainz Picard, which is great to organize your whole collection.
You could also create a playlist for every album/artist and operate with those.

Do you use a GUI file manager? If you can sort by file creation date, then you can easily see and select the newest music files and click and drag them into deadbeef.

Currently there's no good solution to your problem with deadbeef - unless you organize your albums in different folders. But there are plans to add a media library to deadbeef with the next release which should deal with your problem, so you might want to watch out for that.

I can use some of these suggestions and in the mean time I'll definitely look forward to the next release.

Thanks for all of the replies.
