I have an SWS feaure request (if this is the correct place for it).

Region Playlist - add functionality:

1) import playlist from csv (or tab delimited).
IE one 'playlist' per line beginning with a PL name, one region per cell.

CSV looks something like: (or swap , for tab)
playlistName_1, region_1, region_3, region_2;
playlistName_2, region_2, region_7, region_1;

2) Append ALL playlists to end of project as new regions named by playlist name (for rendering)
(The contents of each region is copied to a new single region.)

PRO FEATURES:
3) Nested Playlists
playlistName_3, playlist_1, region_2, region_3;

4) Playlist Types:
Sequential - play children sequentially (default to this if type not specified )

Random (play regions in random order)

playlistName_4, (random), playlist_2, region_3, region_1, playlist_1;

Variable (select item based on variable set in new Region Playlist column, similar to "Loop count")

playlistName_5, (variable), playlist_2, [a0]region_2, [a1]region_3, [b0]region_1, [b1]playlist_1 ;
//user sets variable values in GUI
//supports multiple variables in a playlist


WHY?
a lot of interactive audio functionality can be auditioned this way, before leaving Reaper to go to the other tools. I suspect there are a lot of game audio people that may want this. I know there is some great workflow linkage going on between Wwise and Reaper - but this would be audio middleware agnostic. I also think music folks may dig something like this.
