Not sure how closely related this is to #202352: Enhanced Playlist Statistics and Composer Field, but I want columns other than Artist-Title-Album-Label-Link. For example, Time Played (text) and New Track (checkbox), as well as being able to reorder them.

I have been manually adding them to the database and the module code for 5.x, but it got tedious when every update broke my patch, and I decided to bring this up before cobbling together a patch for 6.x.

Somehow opening this up to the user would be nice.

This may or may not be the time to ask about CCK/Views integration with the playlist. Thoughts?

I agree that it'd be nice to allow the user some flexibility on this but I don't see an easy way to do so. CCK won't help until #196421: Deleting unwanted multiple values / multiple values delta issues and #119102: Combo field - group different fields into one get sorted out. I'm open to suggestions.

I should add that while those patches have been committed they're in CCK's 3.x development branch and won't be in widespread use anytime soon.

Those were both interesting reads.
As you said, CCK 6.x-3x is a long way from readily used.

I have dreams of this being fixed. Scary.

I know I'm not supposed to hijack the issue like this, but it's rather urgent for me (aka last thing before my D6 site goes live).

I had hacked the station_playlist.module to allow myself to add a new field, which was a checkbox signifying a "new track".
Attached is that patch, sorry it's not against CVS.

When I went to go hack the D6 version, I realized a lot of the code had been pushed to Views, and have NO IDEA how to recreate this functionality.

Any help on this one?
