## Stored playlists

Playlists are stored inside the configured playlist directory. They are addressed with their file name (without the directory and without the `.m3u` suffix).

Some of the commands described in this section can be used to run playlist plugins instead of the hard-coded simple `m3u` parser. They can access playlists in the music directory (relative path including the suffix) or remote playlists (absolute URI with a supported scheme).

`listplaylist` {`NAME`}

  Lists the songs in the playlist. Playlist plugins are supported.

`listplaylistinfo` {`NAME`}

  Lists the songs with metadata in the playlist. Playlist plugins are supported.

`listplaylists`

  Prints a list of the playlist directory.

  After each playlist name the server sends its last modification time as attribute "Last-Modified" in ISO 8601 format. To avoid problems due to clock differences between clients and the server, clients should not compare this value with their local clock.

`load` {`NAME`} [`START:END`]

  Loads the playlist into the current queue. Playlist plugins are supported. A range may be specified to load only a part of the playlist.

`playlistadd` {`NAME`} {`URI`}

  Adds `URI` to the playlist `NAME.m3u`.

  `NAME.m3u` will be created if it does not exist.

`playlistclear` {`NAME`}

  Clears the playlist `NAME.m3u`.

`playlistdelete` {`NAME`} {`SONGPOS`}

  Deletes `SONGPOS` from the playlist `NAME.m3u`.

`playlistmove` {`NAME`} {`FROM`} {`TO`}

  Moves the song at position `FROM` in the playlist `NAME.m3u` to the position `TO`.

`rename` {`NAME`} {`NEW_NAME`}

  Renames the playlist `NAME.m3u` to `NEW_NAME.m3u`.

`rm` {`NAME`}

  Removes the playlist `NAME.m3u` from the playlist directory.

`save` {`NAME`}

  Saves the current playlist to `NAME.m3u` in the playlist directory.
