Hi all im new to Vlc and i have a few questions i hope you guys and gals can help with.

1* Is there a way to save a playlist with in VLC rather then saving a m3u file on my HD?

2* Is there a way i can set Vlc so when i add music to it will arrange them by track number by default?

3* Is there a way to view the playlist box within Vlc so it does not open another window?

4* Is there a way for VLC to display the song title & artist rather then the address of the song while playing?

Thanks in advanced for all and or any help you can provide.

1: not yet It's on the very long todo list
2: no. VLC doesn't know about track numbers. it's a Video player first, a music player 2nd. Use a music player if you wanna order your mp3.
3: a thousand ppl, a thousand different wishes when it comes to this
4: not currently, but it is being worked on.

Thanks for the reply Dj to my 2nd question i was actualy hoping to get rid of windows media player with nlite and just keep Vlc as my media player. As to your other answers do you know when the release of the next version is expected?

If you want excellent free quality stuff :

as videoplayer:afcourse VideoLanClient.
as audioplayer:FooBar2000
you can get FooBar here:
http://www.foobar2000.org/foobar2000_special.exe

and if you've a high quality soundcard, don't forget to select in foobar as output:"Kernel streaming"
that's why foobar sounds so good on high end audiocards. It don't use directx with 16bit sound.(when selecting kernelstream as output), and yes i assume you've a 24bit card, if you've a 16bit card something like QCD-player or winamp is fine.
