Here's a playlist-related question: How to make playlist folders?
I would like to organize and group my playlists in folders and subfolders—instead of having them appear in a simple alphabetical list under the Playlists node.
Why playlist folders? Because I have a ton of autoPlaylists, so many that I must scroll down the media tree to see them all. Many of these playlists simply act as feeds into other lists, so I'd like to tuck them away into a place where they don't hog screen real estate.
Or… suggestions for a workaround that lets you organize dozens of playlists in a way that doesn't eat up screen real estate.
thx,

p.s. I hope I don't enrage anyone giving an itunes example:
You'd add a playlist folder like this: File > New Playlist Folder. You can move and drag the resulting folder anywhere you'd like in the playlist area at the right side of the app window. You can also drag playlists into or out of any playlist folders. And you can drag folders into another playlist folder, thereby creating a subfolder

Re: playlist folders
You can't put them into folders, but you can create an empty playlist with whatever you name it and drag playlists into it for
collapsible parent playlist categories that contain sub-playlists.

Re: playlist folders
Okay, so you organize playlists hierarchically without need of folders. Very efficient.
Thx MMFrLife.

Re: playlist folders
this is why you invest the time in having a forum... occasionally someone does a search and finds the actual answer to a question...
i was going to post "how do I create a playlist folder like I did in iTunes?"...
i would NEVER have thought to drag a playlist into another playlist like this... _NEVER_ ...
...but it works wonderfully...
Thanks everybody (and especially all you MM devs!!)

Re: playlist folders
I discovered that myself quite accidentally a while back. Very handy little "feature" when you run a ton of playlists with obscure names.
Also, worthy of note, when you run the "Export all playlists" script, the parent (empty) playlist name will become part of the child playlist name: "Empty playlist (parent) name - actual playlist name" is the naming convention on the export (also handy, IMHO).

Re: playlist folders
Since this is a quite current conversation i would like to thank you that there is a good way to organize music.
i am trying to start all over with my old ipod nano 7g but i dont know, how you guys are doing this. could you please tell me which options are important?
i want to do it all right so please help me.
i am using 4.1.23 MM for free if that is important.
to be clear what i want.
i want some 10 playlists with different music. (would it be a problem if a "the_song.mp3" appers to be on "playlist1.m3u" and "playlist5.m3u" ?
thx in advance

Re: playlist folders
Unfortunately this 'playlist within another playlist' doesn't seem to work when syncing to an iPod (Classic, 5th gen.). It just creates multiple playlists instead of playlist folders.

Correct, nested Playlists only works with MediaMonkey for Android.

Re: playlist folders
happy to find this
Following the procedure (or so I thought), I came across another nice "feature" or undocumented facet is that if you right click on an existing playlist, you can create new nested playlist within that one
this just keeps getting better and better
