However, I have just gone to look in the Extras page and can see no item called " OPML Playlist Browser & Editor" or indeed anything remotely like it. Does it have another name in Extras, or is it somewhere else? Michael Herger;252372 Wrote: > > Editing of Favorites, whilst a necessity in my opinion does not sit > well on the home page.

OK. A (very easy to miss and unexpected) link to editing.

I am certain that the user interface should be kept clear and simple and that, especially cosidering new and less technically savvy users, the editing functions should be kept entitrely separate (as they have so far for the majority of editing functions in SC7).

My Playlist folder is on a local drive, is writeable and is separate from any of my music folders. I think Favorites is a function of SlimServer and as such should be kept within it's own settings folder (preferably not the cache for the reasons above). I don't think of Favorites as a generic playlist and thnk it belongs it in my Playlists folder (it's not even in the same file format as my other playlists).
