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
Can you explain a little more about what you are trying to do.
all my songs in that picked up in the decades, i want to make a play list with them
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
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?
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
