I will check that later if it works

Bambi: The thing is, I don't like playlists, you know? And I change the albums on my player very often and I don't want to recreate a Playlist each time I changed something - but when that's the only way ... I will see ... maybe the guys here change that in a later version

You're gonna have a tough time with Rockbox then, because it is all about playlists. Everytime you play a song it makes a playlist. It either makes a playlist of only that song, if you want, the whole directory, the entire directory and sub-directories, and so on... It all depends on how you want it, but one thing is certain... Rockbox uses and makes playlists and that is not likely to change.

Everytime you play a file, it creates a dynamic playlist, that can be erased or saved just as you want it. Another great playlist tool is the playlist catalog. There you keep all your saved playlists and can add any song you want with just a few button-clicks.

About making a playlist of your entire music collection. If you keep a saved playlist of it, and later update your collection, it is just a matter of choosing the new folders or files and adding them to the playlist with the playlist catalog. Very easy...

I just checked as well. Creating a playlist of my collection (4500+ something songs) took less than a minute from pressing the first button until I had a saved playlist on my player.

With dircache enabled you can have it even faster -- I just generated a root playlist with ~3000 songs in just a couple of seconds. No big deal at all.

I have dirchace enabled... The time is counted from pressing the first button (press and hold NAVI on my H340 -> Playlist -> Insert) to bring up the playlist options and making a root playlist. Press and hold NAVI again -> Playlist -> Save current playlist and then entering the desired name for the playlist. Waiting for it to be saved, and voila! Less than a minute from start to end.

Llorean:
I have all of my music in the "Music" folder. I go into it, choose "Create Playlist" from the menu, about 1.5 seconds later a Music.m3u is sitting in my root folder. It's a slightly quicker method if you don't mind the playlist sharing a name with the folder it was generated from. I've done this for a few artists I have as well as my "Game Music" folder.

Didgeridoohan:
I did not know about that one... Thanks!
