or write your own script to do that.

Yes, that is the only way.

The only alternative would be direct SQL on the database.

Um.... (sigh) There's no way to multi-select leaves (play lists) in the [i]Imported Playlists[/i] node.

I seem to recall the last time I had to delete the entire Imported Playlists node and later recreate it. :-? Really? there's gotta be a better way. :roll:

[quote="Lowlander"]There is no search for Playlists, just for files. I'm not aware there is an Addon to clean empty Playlists either. This means that it the only available method right now is to either remove manually or [b][u]remove all and re-import only the correct ones[/u][/b].[/quote]
Thanks. That's probably the way to go. Though I think this time around I made play lists right in MM, rather than my old method from prior mobile devices, writing .M3U files in the folders to be copied with the files to a PocketPC, Nokia phone. I think I moved them into \Imported Playlists\ like an idiot. :oops: :roll:

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 [i]Imported Playlists[/i]. Great. But now the library has [b]duplicates [/b]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 [i]empty playlist[/i] in Find/Advanced Find, to then delete in one action. Advanced find doesn't have a condition to identify tree node [i]playlist [/i]with # of tracks < 1 (or = 0). [b]Any ideas?[/b] TIA...
