Not using the GUI. You could quickly do it using the database (but be
careful and make a backup and all the other required disclaimers).

Please read *all* the posts in the thread to make sure you understand
what's happening.
Oh, and apologies to David Engel for my mis-assigning credit in my
previous post.

Right. As I said, "we're more likely to get" (implying future tense)
and "would provide" (subjunctive tense, indicating it is not fact, but
possible). My *guess* is that when/if we get this it will be from David
Engel (creater of the playback groups) or some user who decides to help
David out. :)
