Proposals for documentation improvements

[jcorporation]

I plan to rework the documentation site for myMPD. Now is the best time for proposals from your side. Which features should I add and so on. Do you miss a specific topic?

I would like to see a section on creating and working with playlists. Maybe I am missing it.

There is a section on smart playlists but I haven't seen anything on non-smart playlists.

I thought normal playlists are pretty self-explanatory. What do you miss exactly?

So in fact playlists are self explanatory when you start with the context options for a song or album. I just went to confirm and pretty much anywhere a song or album is shown there is an option to add it to new or existing playlist.

The only confusion I have is my first thought is to start by creating a playlist and adding to it. So I go to Browse Playlists. The add option there is only to create smart playlists and not regular playlists. I get why these there are two different approaches for creating these two kinds of playlists.

So after working through writing this I understand it enough to not need a documentation update :)

MPD can not create an empty playlist. That's why there is no option for this.
