Playlists in Drupal 7?

I'd check out Node Queue for doing something like this.

I agree that node queue is not a match for this. It can sort of do the job, but certainly not in its current D7 state and not in a person-centric way. I've used xspf and xspf_playlist.module before on different projects, and like what one can do with it there. It requires a file or well formed file-equivalent to exist, and has some nice player frontends.

I'll need to check out the Kata project, Gus -- I might like to revive my non-drupal xspf project as a D7 deal this summer for its revival, kicking in some code. Do you have a pressing timeframe for your need?

Would be good to get thoughts on best approach from the developers/maintainers of the modules we're talking about. Especially since it sounds more and more like we should rework an existing module.

You can use the flag module as a way for people to 'bookmark', 'favorite', or essentially add tracks to a playlist. Problem is there's no obvious way for users to create/share multiple lists. This add-on to flag might provide a solution - http://drupal.org/project/flag_lists

Then again, there's no D7 version of that module.

Hey Gus,

Can the "add to playlist" action be on the node edit form, or are you looking for something that is more like a link on the node view itself?

I am not sure but seems like it could be case of node-ref.

a thought, wouldn't corresponding nodereferences work? You would create a nodereference to the track from the playlist and also the reverse: to the playlist from the track. Both would get updated and nodereferences can be added/created both ways. Then it's deciding to use node reference create or node connect for D7. It would be nice if noderelationships was ported, but I don't think it is yet.

Not sure how many people are familiar with this module, but from I can tell, it could provide some of the functionality we're looking for -

Any thoughts or working examples of D7 playlists?

Hey, I came across this group while trying to put a simple playlist on my website. Just thought I'd share my solution (for now):

1. Decided to use SoundCloud to host the music files, and found this in the documentation:
   http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/custom-player
2. Downloaded css and javascript files from github:
   http://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-custom-player/archives/master
3. Added css and javascript via preprocess hook:
   
   $scplayer_style = path_to_theme() .'/css/sc-player-standard.css';
$scplayer_js = array( path_to_theme() .'/js/soundcloud.player.api.js',
                 path_to_theme() .'/js/sc-player.js');

if(file_exists($scplayer_style)) {
    drupal_add_css($scplayer_style);
}
foreach($scplayer_js as $f) {
   if(file_exists($f)) {
      drupal_add_js($f);
}
}
4. Created a block with the following simple HTML:
   
   <div class="sc-player">
  <a href="http://soundcloud.com/matas/hobnotropic">My dub track</a>
   <a href="http://soundcloud.com/van-rivers/lykke-li-im-good-im-gone-van-rivers-the-subliminal-kid-remix">Lykke Li remix</a>
   <a href="http://soundcloud.com/forss/forss-vs-borg-deadline-live-in-milan-2004">Forss live</a>
   <a href="http://soundcloud.com/max-richter/wwb-the-haunted-ocean-1">Max Richter: The Haunted Ocean 1</a>
</div>
5. Fiddled with the CSS to make it pretty.

Drupal beginner here! So lemme know if you spot any glaring mistakes or have a suggestion or something. :)

Im curious if the media module and people needing to do playlists on an artist/album basis are concepts which are ready for the Drupal 7 environment. This is for mp3s hosted on the site with the Drupal site I am creating.
