Can Foobar open files in a new or specific playlist?


Question

So the idea recently popped in my head that I could use Task Scheduler to play a file or song whenever I need an alarm. I set Foobar to play the files for me since I almost constantly have music playing and switching files would interrupt my music.

My problem is that I am one of those Foobar users that likes to have 4000+ items in a single playlist. The way Foobar handles playlists is kind of odd, and so opening a new file would entirely wipe everything I have in my current playlist. I can always ctrl+z, but it's a risk that I might accidentally forget to do that before I shut down the comp. I might be making a mountain out of a molehill here, but a molehill can be hazardous if I accidentally trip on it.

So, in short, I am wondering if I can add some arguments that will make Foobar open to a specific playlist.

This is a rather odd dilemma, so my Google-fu doesn't work all too well.

Set the preference for shell integration to "Always send new files to playlist" which sends files opened in explorer to the "default" or whatever new playlist name you want. Another option is to use foo_scheduler plugin.
