Paylist of decades

[Novalak]

anyone know a way of making a playlist of all my decades songs quickly and easily wihtout having to pick each song one by one

[Barcrest]

Can you explain a little more about what you are trying to do.

[Novalak]

all my songs in that picked up in the decades, i want to make a play list with them

[Barcrest]

Well there is no add all to playlist as you know, however you could create PRE files for them with the the included PRE builder and then convert those to a playlist.

Interesting... How

[Novalak]

got it using pre files

1. once the pre files were generated i renamed them all the txt files using Bulk Rename Utility.exe

2. used this app to combine all txt files into 1 txt file http://bluefive.pair.com/txtcollector.htm

3. pasted into excel and used this formula =MID(A4,FIND(",.,",A4)+3,FIND(".mp3",A4,FIND(".",A4)+1)-1)

4. copied the generated text to txt and did a find and replace for " to nothing

5. done, renamed the file to .m3u

So you have a playlist for each year a one huge one for all years?

[Novalak]

i created a huge one but it was 2500++ songs big and it crashed etouch

so i created it 10 years 2000-2009 etc

its about 500 songs each playlist and etouch handles it fine even with shuffle after each play

one more thing, i had to run a script over it to remove duplicate songs
