Not that I'm aware of, but Slimserver will play .m3u or .pls files, so if you create these in MediaMonkey and save them in the Slimserver playlist directory they will get picked up on a Playlist Rescan. A few caveats though, Slimserver needs to "see" the paths to your files in a playlist in the same way as it sees the files in your Music Library. This will only be an issue if your music files are stored somewhere other than the place that Slimserver is installed, like a network drive for example. So, if your Music Library is "\\server\Music\song.mp3" and your playlist points to the same song as "E:/Music/song.mp3", the playlist won't work. Slimserver also currently doesn't support relative paths for playlists, you have to use an absolute path (i.e. the full "\\server\song..."). A playlist is just a text file with links to your songs, so if you open your playlist files up in a text editor like Notepad or Editpad you will be able easily to see if the file paths need changing to match your Music Library setup. You can either use Find and Replace (depending on your text editor) and resave the playlist (then do a playlist rescan), or use a batch script to automate the process. If you run Windows and are interested in a simple script with a frontend that someone very kindly made available to me, let me know. In terms of playlist creation actually in Slimsever, the forthcoming new version of Slimserver (Squeezecenter 7.0 which is in beta testing right now), is step forward. It supports drag and drop playlist creation for example. There's also MusicIP which is integrated with Slimserver in the same way as Itunes, and supports mood and automatic playlist creation. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33110 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
