User reviews
Users appreciate that the Playlist generator efficiently creates randomized playlists from their bookmarked YouTube videos, especially beneficial for large collections. However, multiple reviews point out its crude interface and that it doesn't generate real YouTube playlists, which can be confusing. Users also desire enhanced controls and the ability to open playlists in new tabs. Overall, it reliably fulfills its purpose despite some usability and feature limitations.
Pros
- Effectively generates playlists from bookmarked YouTube videos, saving time and effort.
- Supports large numbers of bookmarks, making it useful for users with extensive video collections.
- Provides randomization and shuffle features with a fair algorithm ensuring videos aren't repeated until all are played.
- Functions well and reliably over extended use without notable issues.
- Highly appreciated by users who find it fulfills a unique need not met by YouTube's own playlist system.
Cons
- Interface is considered crude and in need of improvement according to some users.
- Does not create actual YouTube playlists, leading to some confusion or dissatisfaction.
- No option to create playlists in a new tab instead of a new window, which some users find inconvenient.
- Lacks features like sequential playback mode or advanced controls such as skip/back/unbookmark.
- Limited visibility into the playlist order once shuffled, which some users find undesirable.

crude, but does the job. I'm sure the interface will be improved in future versions :)

Grue Turtle, 2023-06-30Works like a charm. I have a folder with 50+ bookmarks and it was a pain to scroll through the list to choose songs at random. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead!
