Open 2 crates simultaneously

RiceCube 8:42 PM - 7 May, 2005
Here's an idea that I thought of while doing laundry today. Has anybody suggested the option of being able to open 2 crates at the same time? Currently you can only view 1 crate at a time. I'd like to be able to open more than one crate and have the songs show up as a combined playlist. This could easily be done like in windows where you hold down Control while clicking on a 2nd crate.

For example, say I have folders labelled like this:

Hip Hop - Alpha
Hip Hop - Beta
R&B - Alpha
R&B - Beta
Reggae - Alpha
Reggae - Beta
Pop Music

Say I want to have a crate with the songs from the 3 Alpha folders. Presently I have to make a new crate and then drag in the songs from each Alpha crate. What about having the ability to click on all three crates and be able to sort and view all of the tracks in the 3 crates as 1 playlist? That would save me so much time. Comments?

yeah, I NEED this feature as well. I like quick mixing intros with either sound effects or other intros, this feature would make it possible.

This is possible using the prepare window, just drag all the tracks you need there first.

The prepare window doesn't allow me to do what I want to do. It takes time to drag songs into the window and besides, you only get one list that you can make. I want to open 2 or 3 crates with just a drag of my mouse and be able to sort through songs that are separated in different folders.

Plus you end up dragging a bunch of songs to the prepare window each time? mmmh... useless - I mean, time consuming. 2 windows would rock.
