How do I create and play a playlist

Postby ukdodger » 21 Nov 2011 19:23

Apologies if this is a stupid question but for the life of me there doesnt seem to be a link entitled 'Create Playlist' or even 'Play playlist'? How do I do either? Thanks

View -> Playlist
then add songs you want
and save the playlist via Media -> Save playlist to file

My playlist will not open in the same order I saved it as. I don't know why this. No matter how many times I try to save in this order, it won't stay in that order when I open the list file. I have a tv series with 4 seasons I currently have in a playlist. Because the files aren't in the same directory and one season is a completely different type, that may be why it isn't working. Why won't it maintain an order of a saved list? All the files are in there still, just in the wrong order.

In another post, someone mentioned they need to be in the same directory and properly alphabetized. However, that is impossible on my end. And what if I want to create a list of my favorite movies in a specific order from all different directories, it won't even let me do that.
