Batch Convert Of Playlists

Post by villaboy »

Hi,

I have about 300 playlists and i would like to convert them all to a different folder and at a different bitrate, Is there a way this other than right clicking on each playlist setting the directory (its C:\Users\Lee\Documents\newsync\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\<TiTle> BTW) setting the bitrate (256) on each one. Have to think that if it was possible to do a multiselect on the playlists this would be so simple. Version 4.6

Thanks

Lee

I'm assuming that these playlists are in the MM library.

If so, just select the whole library or use the library to find all the tracks from these playlists, and do your conversion once. The playlists will be updated accordingly since they are in the library just as the tracks are.

Sorry,i dont know what you mean by selecting the whole library. Yes the Playlists are in MM

See below - instead to click each playlist and converting i am hoping to do it in one sweep

Yes the playlists are in MM, but are the tracks in the library?

Got it too work,sort of. Again its a work around but hey,what ever.

what i did was this - exported all playlists to a folder. removed the playlist i didn't want. Then followed the instructions here - http://www.thetechhub.com/2010/04/combi ... ingle.html making the change from TXT to m4u - imported the target.m4u file. Then with a single right click i can copy & convert everything i wanted.
