### Feature description

Hello,  
I use playlists (which I’ve created myself) a lot. It would be great if the playlist I’m currently playing were displayed in the player. Or is there a setting for that?  
Best regards

### Problem solved

I can see straight away in the player which playlist I’m currently in.

### Brought benefits

My playlists are organized by mood (in ascending order), meaning the tracks within each list go well together. So I start with Playlist 0010: A on shuffle and then switch to 0015: B (also on shuffle) to gradually lift the mood. It would be very helpful to see which playlist I’m currently in.

### Other application solutions

Finamp displays this directly in the player

### Device type

Phone

See custom strings and [https://styles.symfonium.app/](https://styles.symfonium.app/) you can show whatever you want.

Just as an additional quick pointer, seems like you should be trying to use `%queue.name%` in your string.

Assuming you opened the queue by playing the playlist, the queue’s name should match the playlist’s name.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. Right now, I’m still having trouble syncing the playlists.

Just as @Celorien mentioned, no issues here:

On a side not you can always ask chatgpt. I will create a custom string as per your wishes.
