*mumbles* Stupid updates, never working properly...

[annabtg]

I *knew* I'd regret it. Gah.

I updated from Windows Media Player 8 to Windows Media Player 10. It completely messed up my MP3 playlist. I had it arranged the way I wanted it: in alphabetical order by artist, the same artist's songs in alphabetical order, and duets etc. at the bottom in alphabetical order by song. Now I can try to arrange it the same way all I want, but when I turn WMP off and then back on it's back to messed-up state.

Grrr. *kills something*

That's what I get for updating something I'm perfectly satisfied with. Damn greedy me. And I don't see any "super" extras in WMP 10, either. *wails*

Would anyone of you happen to know a way to arrange the songs the way I want them, and then *keep* them that way?

Still wailing,
Anna.

That's what I was going to suggest, do a system restore. But, just wondering? how did you organize the songs into play lists like that? What I do (illiterate me) is shove the songs in folders and then just play the folder(s) I want to listen to.

I'm actually wondering why you'd have it set up like that. I just put all the songs for a certain theme in a playlist and have it set to shuffle.

And I'd also suggest Winamp instead of WMP, mucho better!

Actually, that's because I never know what to do with a playlist. I like iTunes' way of doing it much better, because it doesn't wait for ME to tell it what songs should be in a playlist but ... *sigh*

I want to make sure I'm listening to all my songs, so shuffle doesn't work for me. I'm a control-freak about that.

*shudders* Winamp gives me bad memories from a long time ago, I couldn't figure it out. (Then again, I was only 11.) But anyways, I'll be satisfied as long as I've got WMP 8 back.

See ya,
Anna.

When you right click on an mp3 file, there's an option "Add To Playlist". From there you can create a playlist with any songs you want. And, in WMP 8, choose in what order you want them to play, too.

See ya,
Anna.
