Update entire playlist

bahhh · 30th May 2005, 19:39

Is there a plugin wich you can update your entire playlist? I have ALOT of music and I don't have the time to update the hole list manualy for its right names so I can sort them by title

If there isn't a plugin for this I have a very good sugestion: Make one

You mean 'update', as in (re-)read metadata (tags) of all files?

If so...
Playlist editor: click 'Sel' button > Sel All / Select all (Ctrl+A)
Playlist editor: click 'Misc' button > Misc (Opts) > Read extended info on selection (Ctrl+Alt+E)

Note: it takes quite some time for Winamp to read all tags, so it might appear as if Winamp freezes. Just a wait a bit longer.

The last option is not available in playlists in the Media Library. You'll just have to scroll... (or open the ML playlist in the playlist editor, read extended info there and then re-save it as a ML playlist)

almost sounds a bit like the old Winamp3 read file data in background option that it had, not sure if the current way winamp works can be externally altered to support something like this, though i could be wrong

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
