Retain shuffle/repeat settings per playlist

[BPM]

Does Poweramp support any way to retain shuffle/repeat settings on a per-playlist basis? Perhaps a keyword inserted in the playlist, or another mechanism would permit this.

Reason: Most of my music playlists I want shuffled and repeated. Play random songs from the playlist, and when they've all been played, do it again. However, a playlist that contains the chapters of an audio-book, or a playlist that covers the exercises in a workout regime, should never be shuffled or repeated -- just play it in order, once, and stop.

I'd love to be able to tell Poweramp the appropriate default settings for each of my playlists. I'd of course like to see this as part of the M3U (or other) playlist standard, but even Poweramp deciding to implement their own extension to the M3U standard would be great.

Have you got anything for me in this area? If not, is there anything in the works on this?

Thank you for the great work on Poweramp. I've used it for years.

Not at present, no, it's a general setting.

You can Re-Sort any Playlist into randomised order (menu=>Re-Sort) and that list will remain in that shuffled order. You can also use List Options to choose to remember the last playback position in Playlists by the way.

Thank you, Andre, for the quick response. Would you consider adding this to your future enhancement list, or to the list of enhancements for people to vote on? I have to believe the scenarios I described ("randomize my music list, not my audio books") are pretty common. I know nothing of your code, of course, but as a programmer it seems like it wouldn't be difficult to implement if you thought other people would benefit from it.

Thank you for considering this possibility. Keep up the good work.
