FlexPlaylist project can create a playlist for Noatun that suits users used to WinAmp XMMS style playlists.

Many people just don't use Noatun because they don't like the playlists and thus I decided to make my own one.

Here are some key features of "FlexPlaylist for Noatun":
Choose own Font and Size instead of KDE-defaults
Optionally can hide menubar, list-header, statusbar and toolbar to save space
Show icon in first column
Context-sensitive menu (also known as rightclick popupmenu) for common actions
Use extended m3u playlistformat as native format instead of slower xml (it'll still be able to load xml-playlists)
Configurable keyboard-shortcuts for most actions
Use alternating colors in listview (as seen in kmail and other kde-applications)
Statusbar showing playtime of currently played title, overall playlist time and no. of playlist items
Optional show some play controls in the statusbar
Dockmode, user chooses the window to dock to
"Jump to" dialog that lets you easily find files in huge playlists
Autoresize columns, time takes as much space as needed, title column takes the rest
Ignores files that can't be played by Noatun when trying to add them to the list

What's New in This Release:
This release uses a more natural order when adding folders recursively (it dives into sub-folders before adding files from the current folder).
The GUI uses standard icons for player controls in the status bar, and draws player controls in the status bar using drawing functions provided by the current KDE/Qt style.
There are also some minor packaging changes (header checks and Debian packaging support).
