I don't think this is quite right. My playlist and music directories are the same, and this doesn't happen to me. It sounds to me like Fred's ripper has been set to create playlists for each album automatically. If Fred has ripped each album into its own folder (perhaps beneath a folder for the artist as well), then it may have created a .m3u file in the same place. Deleting only those .m3u files at the top level of the music directory won't delete these - which are probably the ones Fred wants to remove! Indeed, if Fred has separate artist/album subfolders, then the top-level playlists are more likely to be specially-created ones he wants to keep! (However, Fred does say he wants to delete *all* playlists...) In Unix, it's fairly trivial to run a shell command to remove all .m3u files in subfolders (e.g. "find -name '*.m3u' -delete" or something like that; it's a little more work to leave the top-level playlists). I'm less sure of how to do this in Windows, but you could always use Find Files to look for *.m3u in all subfolders of your music directory, and then just select all of them (except perhaps the top-level ones) and delete 'em. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19172 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
