Custom Playlists on Android

📋Summary

Introduce the ability to create, manage, and view custom playlists directly in LaunchBox for Android. This would match existing functionality in the Windows version and allow users to organize their libraries in more personal and dynamic ways.


❗Problem

Currently, there’s no way to create or view custom playlists on the Android version of LaunchBox. Users can’t group games by theme, series, or favorites, which is a major missing feature—especially for those who rely on playlists as part of their daily experience on Windows. Many have expressed disappointment that this feature is still absent after years of development.


💡Proposal

Add support for the following:

  • Manual creation of custom playlists

  • Add/remove games from playlists on Android

  • Display playlists in the sidebar like other platforms

  • (Optional) Sync playlists created on Windows via cloud or local copy


✅Benefits

  • Brings Android feature parity with Windows

  • Offers much-needed library organization tools

  • Satisfies one of the most requested Android features

  • Improves usability for both casual users and collectors

    Hiya, sorry for the delay here. This would actually be dependant on having playlists on Android. I’ve gone ahead and created a request for this here:

    Custom Playlists on Android

    If it’s okay, I’ll merge your request with that one, since it’s an additional use-case that could be solved, but first we’d need to actually support playlists to make this happen

    I can see that these are actually called Arcade Playlists now:
