Hey sorry for the late response

The playlist if saved in the serialized state of the package.

I am not mainitng the package anymore and I noticed that you have forked the repo and have create mitsu.

If you want you can takeover this package.

@rhymelody What about support for multiple playlists, switched by drop down menu?

[vivi90]

Possible solution 1

The easiest way might be to replace the "Add music tracks" button by a "Add playlist button" and replace the "Clear playlist" button by a "Remove playlist" button.
Then just add a "Switch playlist" drop down menu.
So we will completely replace the session based playlist by user created ordinary playlist (e.g. *.m3u).
We are inside a text editor so i see no problem for the users to just write a playlist and add it to the player.

Possible solution 2

Nearly like solution 1 but it's not playlists.
Instead it's folders for that are added and selected.
This folders might be scanned by toggle event.

My recommendation

Implement both solutions with the ability to switch between it by plugin-in settings.
Maybe we would discontinue the current session-based solution or make it still available by settings.
