Playlist for playing all not working...
Curator:
Sorry, im new to this, and dont have more than a few minutes at any given time to be on the internet usually, as im the only caregiver of a stage 4 cancer patient, so it keeps me very very busy.
Anyway I followed instructions online to turn Recursively insert directories to "on" already, then restart, go to create playlist, when searching for playlists I check in the catalog, nothing there.
Also, to the other comments, yes, I know how to add single files, and a folder even to A new playlist, but the manual and online instructions from other people both state that clicking create playlist with recursively insert directories turned on, should automatically create a playlist with everything on it, That doesn't work, and with so much music, even adding by folder would take me hours. (about 8 GB of music roughly)
Chronon's directions don't work either, however I have figured an end run around it, I put all of my music into a single folder labeled "Play all" put it on my player, set it to shuffle and start playing!
So, problem sort of solved, but id still like to learn a way to do it automatically so I dont have to have two copies of each song on my player... (I kept the other copy so I can make smaller playlists with just the folders)
Chronon:
Curator: I actually performed all of the steps I described this morning and have verified that it contains all of the tracks on my player (thanks to pixelma for remembering the "recursively insert" option that I forgot to mention).
"Create playlist" does not store the resulting playlist in the playlist catalog, it stores it in the root of your player as "root.m3u8".
Curator:
Root of my player? and that isssss? first opening page? in a file in the directory? cause I have checked both those pages, nothing there, and cant find anything in the player when checking it on my computer called "root.m3u8" I used the computer search function to look for it...
Chronon:

Curator:
