How to change name of playlists

[jitubitu]

Hello,

I've been using Winamp since MusicMatch jukebox was sold to Yahoo.I'm currently using Win amp 5.66 and have just discovered that my playlists are not being stored where I have traditionally kept them (X:\My Documents\Playlists). I have now found out that they are stored in C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\ml\playlists. When I went to this location I also discovered that all the playlist names are now a randomized collection of letters and numbers. Is there any way to convert these filenames back to the more descriptive file names which are easier to understand for human being. I often find it easier to edit my playlists in a text editor. With filenames as they currently are it makes it difficult to find the playlist I want to edit.

Regards,
Jitu

No, not if you continue to use these internal playlists.
Winamp cannot find them if you rename them.
%APPDATA%\Winamp\Plugins\ml\playlists\playlists.xml contains the correspondence between the names used in the Library and the file names. XML files can be opened with a web browser.

You may want to use external playlists instead.
