I couldn't find a thread that addressed this so,....
Background: Been a MM user since getting an iPod Classic for Xmas many years ago. It's been my one and only way to manage my over 10,000 tracks of digital music, and adding new ones. Over the course of losing not one but two NAS drives, Mediamonkey has been a savior, restoring all my music from the iPod to a hard drive and then cleaning up organization, to verifying the integrity of a new copy of the entire library of music after restoring to a new network hard drive.
Here's the problem. I created new play lists for those lost on the first hard drive crash (some are custom sequences or arrangements of the albums), both manually and by using an add-on(?). I now have hundreds of Imported Playlists. Great. But now the library has duplicates of most playlists. One playlist is correct, the other is empty. There are hundreds. I can't make time to scroll down to each empty playlist, tap DEL, hit ENTER or tap OK on the confirmation dialog, then scroll to the next. I need to do this as a global find & [action].
Goal: I'd like to simply search for every empty playlist in Find/Advanced Find, to then delete in one action. Advanced find doesn't have a condition to identify tree node playlist with # of tracks < 1 (or = 0). Any ideas? TIA...
