Adding multiple albums to one playlist? Possible?

[MarcS]

I'm trying to understand how the skins work, but haven't been able to get deep enough yet.

I've tried 4 skins, and in none of them can I figure out how to create a playlist consisting of tracks from multiple albums--is that possible?

Doesn't anyone else want to take say 2 or more different albums, add them in their entirety to a playlist, then set shuffle play?

I've seen a few skins that have shuffle play, and a button to add the entire album--but so far have not been able to add from a second album.

Am I missing something?

Also, is there an "autoplay" feature turned on when an album is selected? I'd rather explicitly start playback.

I've looked at the skin editor, but at this point it doesn't mean anything to me--yet...

I know for FACT that with Colby Skin you can add multiple albums to your playlist. As well, you can play ALL the albums you have.

In my skin you click the album name of the album on the album overlay. (notice the word Play behind it). This would add the album to the playlist. It will be verified by the little music note by every track.

In other skins, there is generally an Add Album toggle of sorts. You click this mode and when you select the album it will be added. once your albums are added you can play random or whatever, since random is related to the playlist not the db. Playall is related to the category so you can filter a category, (ie genre=rap, year, or whatever...) then playall will play the sorted category.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the hint...I actually had your skin as the current one when I just opened Xlobby... and was able to add 2 albums to the playlist...
