Dynamic playlists renaming

[Colin Kern]

Hi everyone,

I was just talking to my friend about the dynamic playlists in Amarok
2, and he had a comment that I wanted to pass on.  I think we can
agree that the dynamic playlists aren't understood by many of the
Amarok users, and I think the name itself might be adding to the
confusion.  First of all, I think few people outside the computer
science field really understand the meaning of "static" and "dynamic"
and what it means in this context.  Also, the term "playlist" I think
people think of as being static lists of songs, so it's hard for them
to conceptualize a playlist that changes.  My friend's idea was to
rename dynamic playlists as something like "Local radio".  I think
this better conveys the idea that it's an automatically generated list
of songs from a local collection.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Colin
