Deleting multiple Playlists

[kenneth]

So my ZVM has 34 playlists, most of them are audiobooks. Each audiobook has its own playlist (yeah, i love my audiobooks!)

If I decide to delete, say, 20 of these playlists, what's the easiest way of doing it? Right click on each one and hit remove? Is there some kind of way so it would work like Explorer by using CTRL or CTRL + SHIFT ? I have Notmad and I currently use it to "clean" my ZVM since it pretty much works like Explorer. But it would be nice if all I have to do is use Mediamonkey and be done with it. Notmad is kinda unstable.

Does anyone know the easiest way to go about doing this?

I think that you will need to do it one by one in MediaMonkey.

So perhaps this should be on the wishlist?

As sort of a work around, you can create a temp playlist and move all the other playlists under it, then delete the temp playlist which should also delete all the nested playlists.

nice. I'll try that. Thanks!

Posting here because it's the first result in Google.

For others, if you have SQL Editor addon, you can run a query to delete them. After running the query, close Media Monkey and reopen. Naturally back up your DB first if you are unsure.

SQL Editor...
https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... ql-editor/

Query to see impacted playlists...
Select * from playlists where playlistname like 'PartialPlayListName%'

Query to delete playlists...
delete from playlists where playlistname like 'PartialPlayListName%'

If unsure ... don't do it
