smart playlist

It would nice if we could create smart playlist. For example playlist based on artist or album or music type or result of a search ...

When you search for something right now and click it to play, the player will loop only within the song results.

I do agree, though, that creating a playlist from search results would be pretty cool!

Creating it from a search, or looking at a particular artist/album should be easy within the rewrite I'm working on (`next` branch). Since all the songs in that player are transparently played from youtube/soundcloud anyway. I guess the 'smart' part is where it gets more tricky. We currently have the "generate a mix" feature when you right-click a song to find similar songs like it and explore that way. Those mixes aren't saved / stored in any way though, which I guess is another improvement I'd like to make in the `next` Stretto.

My main idea was to be able to create playlist, from search or library, by filtering (by artist, album, or other meta-data) the songs.
The motivation behind this feature is that it is not possible to search for an album from an artist and another album from another artist. Furthermore, the queue and multiple selection are not easy to use (no queue clearing, easy miss-click, ...).
With search result, the playlist generation would add the songs to the library and create the playlist.

With this feature, it would be easy to generate a playlist from a mix : it would be done the same way it is done with search result.
