Feature Requests

NOTE: These are NOT implemented.

Add variables for the following:
- length of active playlist and playing list
- %_playbackorder%
- %_replaygain_mode% - not really possible
- %_database% - gives back if a file belongs to database or not
  - not easily possibe because you cannot use SDK functions in the title formatting callback
  - only way I could see to do it is to cache the library and test against that
- %_added% - timestamp when a file was added to database
  - not really possible - timestamp is not stored when added when added to library
  - could be possible with a plugin that stores the date added to the library
  - library_callback implementing on_items_added() to store timestamps

Useful Strings

'Played Today', 'Played Yesterday', 'Played n days ago' or 'No last played info'

$if(%last_played%, $puts(diff,$cwb_datediff(%last_played%,%cwb_systemdate%)) Played $ifgreater(1,$get(diff),Today, $ifgreater(2,$get(diff),Yesterday, $get(diff) days ago)), No last played info)
