This only works if all playlist files are in one directory. If you have the common artist/album sturcture and a playlist per album, the playlist file will very likely be in the album folder. In this case use the search function from the start menu, enter *.m3u as the search term and your music folder as Search in. After the search hase completed select all files and throw them into the bin. Be careful not to delete any playlists you might want to keep. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 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

Thanx to all for responding. Over the past couple days I have grown a little wiser and realize that, yes, during the EAC/FLAC compression of albums a playlist is being made within each Directory/Album folder. Hence, one playlist for each album (300+ to date) So.if I remove these 300+ playlists from each directory, clear and rescan for new playlists, this should clear up my problem And one other major problem/concept I just cannot seem get my head around is Favorites. After having marked 30 or so songs as favorties via the remote, at SlimServer I wish to add these to a specific Playlist. Do you think I can do this? The only options I see is Play, Move Up, Move Down, no add capability exists? Weird. If someone can help me with this, it would be very much appreciated. -- Fredly Fredly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1392 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

I didn't mean to create these playlist and just want to clear EVERYTHING and start from scratch. What's the simplest way to clear ALL playlist? -- Fredly In Slimserver you've probably set your playlist and music directories to be the same directory. That results in all of your music showing up as playlists. Change your Playlist directory to a different directory and things should behave as you expect. 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

Windows? Do the following: Start Run cmd cd\the_path_to_the_top_level_music_folder_with_all_the playlists dir *.m3u /s (this will list all the playlists) del *.m3u /s (this will delete all the playlists) exit Be careful, This is not reversable! --tim -- tim tim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1104 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
