I often find that track 7 will also have been deleted from the playlist even though it wasn't selected or highlighted. I don't know why this happens but the poster may have noticed tracks missing if this was done a lot although it seems to be more a problem with the lists themselves.

GRW wrote:I have noticed playlists also lose tracks when block deleting. If I delete 1 track it dissappears. If I hold shift and select more than 1 track, the track below often deletes as well by mistake so I have stopped doing this. Not sure if this has any resemblance to the issue.

flacftw wrote: Actually, nohitter151. I made a mistake when trying to duplicate the problem. Right after you send the tracks to the new playlist (B), while they are still highlighted (on A), try removing them. Go to the new playlist (B) you sent them to and you'll notice they aren't there, and if you go back to A, they will have "reappeared".

nohitter151 wrote:Thank you for the clear steps, but I've just tried it and it isn't reproducible for me. Here's what I did:

1. Created a new playlist "A", and added to it 5 tracks
2. Created a new playlist "B"
3. From playlist "A", selected all 5 tracks and right click > send to > Playlist > "B"
4. Opened playlist "B", all 5 tracks were present
5. Went back to playlist "A", removed the 3rd track (right click > remove > remove from playlist only)
6. Viewed playlist "B", nothing had changed - all 5 tracks present

Are you running the latest version of MM (3.2)?

Any ideas, or suggestions on how to track down whatever this is?

flacftw wrote: I'll try to break this down.

1) I have 5 songs on playlist A (named 'Prog mix' for example).
2) I want those same songs on playlist B (named "Favorites").
3) So I select the 5 songs on playlist A, Right click on them, go to "Send to ...", then select playlist B from the dropdown menu.
4) If I go to playlist B to check to see if the songs have added correctly, they are there.
5) If I go back to playlist A, and select one of those 5 songs which I no longer want on THAT playlist (A), I right click, go to "Remove", then select "Remove from the Playlist only", the song removes like it's supposed to BUT it also removes that same song (the one I just removed from playlist A) from playlist B (the one I just added it to). It removes it from BOTH playlists, when I just want it removed from the first one (A).

I hope that explains my situation... Try and follow my steps to recreate it on your MM and it will most likely have the same glitch. I'm a DJ (and sometimes just use my laptop instead of decks), so I rely on playlists more than my library (which consists of a LOT of songs). I can't simply just drag and drop the songs from one playlist to another because most of the time I need the songs on BOTH (sometimes more) playlists. If I drag and drop the songs from the library, they are there to stay, but if I "Send to" from a playlist and later remove it, it removes it from all playlists I've sent it to. And I find it a lot easier dealing with playlists with say 150 songs, than my library which consists of 20,000+.

Whenever I right click on a track (or a few) and "Send to playlist", they appear in the new playlist fine, but when I remove them while they are still selected (right after sending them to that new playlist) they get removed off of BOTH playlists. Very annoying... especially when you have a large library and rely on playlists (and shuffling from one another) when all of a sudden you notice tracks are missing. Is there a version I can downgrade to that doesn't do this? Thanks.

Can you explain this again? I'm not aware of such a problem. What do you mean "Both" playlists, you said you had only added it to one?

I have not yet really started to use the "playlists", and are looking around for what they can do for me, and which problems they can give me.
But your post confuses me a bit.
Do you mix the functions "playlists" with "Library" or vice versa? It seems like you talk about playlists in one term, like its the whole library.

I use delete from playlist/library for the tracks I want to keep, and shift-delete to erase the tracks I don't. Every once in a while, a chunk of my tracks spontainiously vanishes from the playlist (just now it was 2937). Hitting the 'edit -> undo' option brings them back, they're only gone from the playlist, not the drive. about half the time i don't have the problem again, other times it happens again simply by switching to the next song.

Any idea what's up, why it's happening? I'm using win7 ultimate, and MM 3.2.0.1294
