...and here is why.
If you have christmas songs in your music folder it will be on your playlist all year around.
This was pointed to me by my sister's fiancé was problem with music players. I actually did not agree with him and saw to easy solutions.
1. Make a special directory named Christmas Songs and just add it to the list of directories your music player listens to. And then just remove it when you've got sick of these songs.
2. Make a playlist.
3. Tag all christmas songs as such. Make a bash script to move all of them to the directory which the music player listens to. Make another script to move them outside of it again when it's not yuletide.
I might consider writing a plugin for rythmbox to automatically make a playlist for christmas songs on yuletide and remove it afterwards. And also that the plugin will not list chrimstas songs in your playlist if it isn't yuletide (perhaps make it possible to toggle it).
But only if I get enough people interested to use it. If I get more ideas. And it wouldn't be worse if there would be people ready to contribute code.
oh btw the reason for why I make this thread....
Make two threads, one titled "this software has a few bugs" and "this software is worse than Hitler" and it's not hard to figure out which will get more responses.
