have a question about Playlists

[cooltwou]

are there are Programs that make a Playlists on My Rockbox Sansa Clip +. Is there a link I can goto that will show me how to install & make the Playlist

Any m3u and maybe othere formats as well will work. Any media player (itunes, windows media player, vlc, ect) can generate such playlists.
You can also create playlist directlly from your rockboxed clip (see manual, or just play with the featchers on the device)

A good one is "vi".

A good one is "vi".

what do you mean by source code

I don't see this ending well...

[cooltwou]

OK but that did not tell me a program & a link with step by step instructions on how to do it

[silvertree]

It was an esoteric joke.

vi is a text editor.

It's not wrong.  Playlists are simply text files that tell a player where to find songs to play. 

However, it's not a helpful response.

I don't know any program that specifically makes playlist but many audio players can do so.

Winamp can export playlists.  Foobar2000 can export playlists.  MP3tag can export playlists.

Why do you need a playlist generator?  What are your goals? 

Rockbox can make playlists as well.

I am trying to make playlist of all music I have on the player & make a playlist for each artist

[Echo]

You don't need a playlist for each artist in rockbox, that's what the database is for (see manual)
The same is true for a playlist of all your songs.
You can also just play your root directory where all your files are (create one if you don't have one) and that will play all songs.

I want a playlist & I want a program that will do it & a link on how to do it with the program

[cooltwou]

I don't think you understand what I am talking about.
What I am talking about is one day you might be in the mood to listen to all your music or anything day you might be in the mood to just list to a certain music band all day & if you have several albums of the same band a playlist would be better way to play the music

[silvertree]

The database does this.

Select an artist and choose "all tracks".

You will have to be more specific about you want if it's not already covered by the database.

[cooltwou]

OK I just got it to work but I have noticed one problem it list one Artist list one twice the name is one with no space in his name & the other one has a space in his name how do I correct that

[silvertree]

you have to meticulously go through every one of your files and ensure that all the tags are properly titled and tagged.

I'm not going to lie to you, it can be a very big job.

I use http://www.mp3tag.de/en/  for all my tagging work.  The forums there are pretty helpful.

There are many other tools for the job.  I hear itunes does an ok job at trying automatically.

I have an old Sansa Fuze, but the program I use is Playlist Creator:

I hope this helps.

Playlist creator should probably work.  Save with relative locations not absolute.
