Ceejay, I listen to my squeezebox three ways: 1) Search for an Album, play it 2) Search for a Song, Play it 3) Play my "favorite songs" playlist in random order and just let it roll. the third option is the one I do the MOST. my favorite songs playlist is large with 1380 songs. It took a long time to construct. Then I had the unfortunate issue happen where when upgrading SS software, my playlist somehow got deleted and/or SS was no longer able to read it. I reconstructed the playlist and the same thing happend to me again. That was bad, so the third time I did it I did it a different way. Intead of using the SS playlist, I changed the ID3 tag. All my "Favorite Songs" I gave them the Genre of "Chamber Music". Only songs I listen to when I am in my Chambers. If somebody else doesn't like them, they can leave the chamber! :o) Anyway, this has worked well for me. Now when I want to random play my "favorite songs", I just search for "chamber Music" and hit play. Last weekend I had a bad time upgrading to 6.5.0. I stepped back to 6.3.0 to fix my woes, but I was worried it would somehow smoke my playlist. No worries, though. Since my playlist is actually strored within each music file's ID3 tag, there is no SS error that could accidentally delete or corrupt my playlist. So I am a happy camper now! -- Zten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1810 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29368 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
