Is there a plugin that...

evanelrod · 15th August 2004, 17:55

Ok, so I would assume most people have many many folders of different music, right?
I need/would like a plugin that would create random playlists based on different folders.
For example:
The first song would be a random song out of my "rock" folder
The next song would be a random song from my "classic rock" folder
Then a random one from my "others" folder
etc etc

Of course for all I know, there could already be a plug in like this, and I just don't know about it.
If there isn't... there should be ;-)

What about Winamp's Media Library?

evanelrod · 15th August 2004, 20:15

how can I customize the media library that way?

You can add views to the media library by right-clicking on "Local Media" and clicking "Add smart view...". Enter "Rock" as the name of the view and as the query, enter the following:

type = "0" AND filename HAS "\rock\"

(in case of your rock folder)

Thanks... that's cool to know.
But it's still not really want I was thinking...

Or maybe I'm not seeing how customizable it really is

That's probably it. I had the same problem as you have and the media library solved everything.
