How in the world can this be true? Just like the original OP's situation, when someone decides to switch from iTunes (or whatever) to MediaMonkey and they import their hundreds of playlists, you're just SOL on moving your playlists out of the "imported" folder? It's just a database. This can't be the case.

From a technical perspective I think the two options for actually displaying two playlists are a simple append operation with no special processing, or use the existing autoplaylist framework to create a list with criteria Playlist Is the selected playlists. Either of these could work without affecting performance significantly. The former option would retain the track order of each playlist in the view and would keep duplicates. The latter would remove duplicates but the track order would be lost.

Well, you can move playlists - just only one at a time, which really is supremely tedious. And made more so by the awkward vertical (slowly) scrolling list. And still more so by the way that every time you drop something into a nested 'node', it insists on opening the entire subnode, pushing everything else back down the screen again.


Editing this post just to say I really, really wish this could be fixed, because I'm thinking its going to take me weeks to laboriously move all these playlists one at a time. Its _so_ tedious!!!

I am astounded that you still can't move multiple playlists at once. This alone can be a deal breaker for someone trying to switch from iTunes (you import hundreds of playlists from iTunes and they are all in a folder called "imported from iTunes," and the only way to get them out is to move them ONE BY ONE... just horrible).

Not only does it make switching from iTunes a PitA, but it's really awful trying to organize your playlists (because you can only move them one at a time)!

I stand in solidarity with Frankenpod and Voltron8MyHat. I too would love a way to ctrl-select or shift-select multiple playlists and move them around to other playlist nodes or delete them.
