change order of play list
Info says you should be able to drag and change the order of songs in your playlist. That does not work for me.
We have to have the music in a specific order for performances.
any thoughts?

Re: change order of play list
you can make auto playlists and use them to play the order of the songs as you want them so you don't mess up those albums that run from one track to the next like live concert's.
as for moving songs around try left clicking on the number of the song in the list. that might let you drag it then with the edit window opening in the list area clicking on the title or some other field in the song might be tricky to get it not to open and let you drag it. but the edit window does not open for the list's song number. if the number is not there right click on the column and find it on the menu and left click it then they will show up.

Re: change order of play list
My experience is that you cannot move tracks around in an auto-playlist. You can in a static.
Re: change order of play list
Yes, you can only move files around in a static playlist. In Auto-Playlists you can only adjust the Sort Order.rrfpacker wrote:My experience is that you cannot move tracks around in an auto-playlist. You can in a static.

Re: change order of play list
Yeah u can but u need to stop play and click ALT-F5.
From the user guide:
To Edit a Playlist:
• Add Tracks to an existing playlist by selecting the Track(s) to add and clicking the Playlist button on the toolbar or Send-to > Playlist in the context menu, and choose the destination Playlist.
• Click the Playlist node from the tree and add/remove/rearrange Tracks within the Track list.
• Select and play a Playlist to add it to the Now Playing window. Then add/remove/rearrange Tracks within the Now Playing dialog and click List > Save Playlist when you're done.
• Sort the playlist by clicking a header. This will sort the tracks but not won't save the new Play Order. Press <Alt><F5> if you wish to save the new play order.

You don't have to add to the Now Playing. You can sort/modify the Playlist itself.

Re: change order of play list
Please can you explain how you can change the playlist itself not just the order in which the tracks play.
All of the steps mentioned change the play order or modify the playlist on the occasion of play.
I would like to change my playlist permanently.

Re: change order of play list
Also the playlist has no names- merely track 01,02,03 etc
This isn't very useful.
I gave up using the software for twelve months as it is poor on these basics but clearly it hasn't improved.

Re: change order of play list
What is shown on the Playlists depends on your tags. You'll need to tag your files correctly in order to see the correct tags anywhere including on Playlists.
If you're modifying a Playlist it will mostly remember the changes, for sorting you may need to right click on a file in the Playlist and click Update Play Order (F5).

Re: change order of play list
After moving the song per the instructions, it was Press <Alt><F5> if you wish to save the new play order.
That solved it for me.

Re: change coding of play list errors.
There, it did it again. Random injection of non-selected playlist items.
I specifically selected all Willie items, saved as a playist, then called the playlist. It played three Willie songs in a row and then injected a random Dave Brubeck song. Fix your.

Re: change order of play list
WIth alll the useful information you gave I am sure they will be fixing their real soon
Best guess would be to create a debug log so they can see what is going on inside. It might be helpful if you stated what version (unless i missed that) you are using. And try the newest debug version and see if same happens.

Re: change order of play list
Sounds like you enabled Play > Auto-DJ in the main menu.

Re: change order of play list
If you have a playlist and you want to create a "Random Order", after which you can fine-tune by rearranging the order, here is a workaround.
1. Create a playlist containing the songs you want.
2. Use one of the "Custom" fields and set a unique value to all the songs in the playlist (i.e. "Random")
3. Create a "New Auto Playlist"
4. Use the advanced criteria tab and specify the criteria "Custom" field = "Random"
5. You will now have a new playlist using the songs from your original playlist in Random Order. However, you can not rearrange the results.
6. Select all songs from the "Auto Playlist" that was previously created.
7. "Send To" a new (regular) playlist the selected songs
8. Now you can delete the "original Playlist" (#1) and the "Auto Playlist" (#3) in lieu of your new, random playlist that you can now rearrange to your liking.
