Re: Creating M3U playlists, further explanations etc.
Not really. I have over 400 cds on this drive, and I can create playlists rather quickly. Now, granted, I use winamp's library to do this, but I've loaded playlists of 7000 or 8000 random songs and have had no problems.

Re: Creating M3U playlists, further explanations etc.
Yep, absolutely right. I have to admit that I'm talking about making playlists on a massive scale here really, when you're dealing with say a book containing 28 CD'S you really need an automated solution.

Re: Creating M3U playlists, further explanations etc.
with winamp, hit shift l if you want to add an entire folder. if you just want to add songs, you can go through a folder, hit your applications key, and tell it to queue it in winamp. No options to go through, but if what you do works, then great. I'm merely mentioning this for people who may not know how to create a playlist in winamp.

Creating M3U playlists, further explanations etc.
Ok, well I went through Winamp and the options for creating playlists just in case I was missing something and I actually think that the batch files I wrote in Take Command are easier. take Command allows the user to write very powerful batch files which can take user input etc, such is the case with mine which I'm happy to distribute. You run the batch file as you would with any other command say from the run programmes option. You're typed in the path name to where the files are that you want to make a playlist from, you hit enter and the batch file does the rest. I'm looking at ways of having a "browse" option incorporated into the batch file, only one thing you need to do and that is get a version of Take Command onto your system, I think its available from http://www.jpsoftware.com. Now the second advantage of creating playlists this way, while I'm sure allot of people use Winamp, not everyone does, I prefer to use VLC myself these days (no, that's not the London talkback station) , its the name of an open-source media player which is compatible across all platforms including Windows, Mac Os10.x, LINUX etc. Dane Trethowan Phone: +613 9747 3975 Fax: +613 9743 7954 Mobile: +61 425 777 508 Skype: grtdane11 Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
