No, and there are no plans to support it either.

We made the design decision to move away from the spreadsheet like
playlist and more to a queue of upcoming songs. While the PlaylistView
is very flexible it will never behave exactly as the one from Amarok
1.4 because it just is not intended to be. Some people decided that
type of playlist view was very important and so decided to start new
proejcts such as clementine.

We don't claim to be the only music player out there and will force no
one to use Amarok, neither will we feel offended if decide you like
clementine or exaile better.

Enjoy whatever free software music player you like best,
Bart
