accidental playlist deletion

davidnsharpe · 31st May 2006, 21:41

Alright, before you flame me telling me to use the search, BELIEVE ME have I ever tried. Try getting past

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/vbulletin239/search.php on line 408

for 20 minutes.

ANYWAY

i just did a very VERY stupid thing - how does accidentally deleting a playlist from the media library sound?

how about deleting two? yep... very stupid indeed...

i managed to get one back, as i regularly save it, but the other one is rather important and thats the one i forget to save. is there any possible way i can get it back? like does winamp store a cached version or anything?

thanks in advance

Sorry to say that unless you backed them up, they're gone.

Although on the bright side. . .For most people, after the first time they lose data, they become a lot better at backing up.

Take a look in c:\program files\winamp\plugins\ml and look for some playlists beginning with "plf". If you are lucky, yours might still be in there.

Yeah there was a bunch of past playlists in there, and it was about a 2 month old version of what i had recently, so i need to add/take away about 30 tracks n ill be set. Thanks for the help!

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
