  • How can I just listen to all my favorites in an easy way?

    Hi!
    I might be posting a "stupid" question, but after hours of searching around, I gave up.
    Is there any way to have my SB just play all my favorites (that are all locally stored)?
    Such as, making a playlist of all favorites?
    I know I can add the favorites one by one to the current playlist and than save it.
    Anyway, I believe that there must be an easier way, like selecting all favorites with one click and adding them all together to the playlist...?
    Thanks for any help!

    I don't think this is possible at this point.

      It takes more than a single click, but Material skin does allow you to select multiple favorites and add them to the current queue.
      Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players. Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

        You can do this using the "Material" skin.

        Start with an empty Queue/playlist.

        In Favourites click the 3 dots alongside a favourite click "Select".

        On the top toolbar click the "invert selection" button, this will select all your favourites except the original one, just select that one as well.

        Save the Queue as a playlist.

          Just to add a warning, this does not work very well with favorites that are radio stations. It may appear to work, but if you select one, then another, etc. weird things happen with regard to art and song info matching the audio.

            Awesome!!
            I still find it surprising that this is not somehow part of the concept. I mean, I can select all kind of styles for having a random playlist, but not my own favorites...
            Anyway, your workaround works wonderfully!!!
            Thanks for all replies!
            And yes, Redrum, I am aware that this will not work well with Radio stations, thanks for the warning!
            Enjoying my favorites right now ;-) 🎢🎡🎼🎹
