Well, don't do that. SlimServer is clearly not a playlist management tool. Build your playlists in your media management app, and then play them in SlimServer. But this is what I mean when I say that mileage varies. I never, ever use playlists. What I love about SlimServer is that -- nearly unique among media players -- it lets you do a three-tier browse. Genre, artist, album; this is so fundamental and necessary that it continually amazes me that essentially no other player does this. But apparently other people don't care, and they listen to playlists instead of albums, and it turns out that maybe different programs are good for different styles of usage. -- mkozlows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21322 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
