Good day, i am wondering if there is a way to play everything without having to add everything i have to the play list? A side from adding all my music into a folder and then adding the whole folder

What i would like to do is just listen to everything i have without the effort of adding. I know it sounds lazy but with a lot of music adding it can be a pain lol

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There is currently one way of doing this:

1. Change the player type to "External player" (in Settings > Players)

2. Then go to More > Random Playlist. Select the "Play more random songs when end of playlist is reached" checkbox and click OK.

Hope this helps,

I will check that out when i get home but it doesn't sound like what I'm looking for and i think i may of explained it badly lol

I would like to play all the albums/artist's i have listed in the left hand column without going threw 1 by 1 and adding each of them. Kind of like a master playlist.

I have my music setup as D:\Music\artist\album\songs.mp3

Is there a way to create a play list that grabs everything with the D:\Music directory?

Thanks

I figured it out

I edited the play list to load directories instead of file

instead of
d:\music\artist\album\song.mp3

I replaced it with

d:\music\artist\

It was actually pretty simple. I opened a command window and then navigated to D:\Music and ran

dir /b /s >d:\file.txt

Then once it was finished i opened up the text file and edited it to reflect the directories i wanted and deleted the rest. Then i saved the files to D:\Music\Playlist and named it "Master List.m3u" Takes a minute or two to load but its worth it.

Thank you for your help

Is it just me or is there no checkbox?

Edit: Okay, I stumpled upon it now. Party mode was enabled...

Sorry..but this is crazy.. I have like gazillion folders. Editing all the lines by hand is not very good solution. Instead you can specifig attribute option and define to show only directories by default:

Code: Select all

dir /b /s /A:D >All.m3u

And there you go - all ready playlist. You can add it to windows tasks so it will be created every night just like rest of the indexing.

Also loading playlist WILL TAKE TIME if you have a lot of files (12 000 files in my case). It took about 3 minutes to load them all. Also you might need to change the memory limit from 100MB to something more reasonable. It needed 180MB in my case to load the files. Otherwise it just loads and completes without a result.

Hope it helps.
