"Add Dir" Bug in the playlist (v.2.7)

3rd December 2000, 18:51

Have you guys tried to add a directory to the playlist, which includes subdirectories with songs in them?

All the songs are added twice! There were a total 310 files in the directories but the playlist contained 620!

This bug has been bugging me since I don't know when, and it's still there in v. 2.7

Please fix!

Hagur -

This is not really a bug, it is a matter of separating your MP3 files and your playlist files. If you commonly use the Add Directory method of populating the playlist with files, you should save your playlists in a separate folder.

Some people use Add Directory to add playlist files, some people use it to add individual MP3 files. If you have both in the same directory, there is no way for Winamp to know which type you want excluded.
