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.

 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)
 smile, its the name of an open-source media player which is
 compatible across all platforms including Windows, Mac Os10.x, LINUX
 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.
