I am just starting with MM5. I came from Itunes and am overwhelmed with all of the options and flexibility. I have about 120K songs that I want one or more playlists assigned to each song. I accomplished this during the import process hopefully. Now I want to determine if there are any songs that do not have a playlist associated with it. I have been playing around with a auto playlist but just can't get it working. I imported 1 song without any playlist so I know that there is at least 1 song to be selected.

Does anyone have any examples that they would be willing to share? Or any advice on how I can accomplish this?

You could query the database.
[list=1]
[*] in MM5, go to Tools>Addons, and search for an add-on called SQL Editor ... is written by drakinite from MM ... thanks drakinite :)
[*] if it is not in the list, press the Get More button at the bottom of the panel, and look in MediaMonkey5>DeveloperTools
[*] [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/WebHelp:Creating_Custom_Scripts/5.0]install the addon[/url]
[*] that puts a small icon in the Toolbar, a couple of icons to the right, past the funnel ... it looks like a picture frame
[*] Press the icon, and paste the following into it
[*][code]select distinct albumartist, album, songtitle
from songs
where id not in (select distinct idsong from PlaylistSongs)
order by 1,2[/code]
[*] Press Execute ... the result should be [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/lzyzbd7yi6omg75/tracks%20not%20in%20any%20playlist.png?dl=0]like this[/url]
[/list]

Caveat: The addon will return a maximum of 1,000 rows ... so this is assuming that you have less than a thousand tracks that are not in a playlist. There are workarounds, but from what you have said, you won't need them.

Hi Wolfstiles,
If you have only a few Playlists, the method from Erwin Hanzl is a much better way.
I'd assumed, you have a huge amount of Playlists. That would result in endless clicking at:

Playlist - is not - and select playlists.

because there is no way to select all Playlists at once (only imported) [Feature Request?].
The auto update feature works for added tracks, but not for new playlists.

If you have a large number of Playlists, it may be easier to make a static overview of the current status.
Yes, copy all of your playlists into a new playlist (Step 3) [[i]All Lists][/i]
[b]OR:[/b]
(3. b) [b]MOVE[/b] all your list into [i]All Lists[/i] (and use this List as the root for further lists)
Then you don't have only a static image of this moment.
But be careful: If you delete "All lists", all your lists are really gone. (Backup MM5.db!)
Now, you have the chance to build a Node with ONE click to select all tracks without PL. (Step 4)

It's a little tricky, because there is no filter "unknown" Playlist.
So collect all your lists in a new one, that can be filtered with "Is Not".
1. Go to the node Playlist
2. in the Main List select all Lists (Ctrl & A) and
3. Rightclick SendTo>Playlist: New Playlist. (Let all doublets remain in the Lists)
4 . In the node Entire Archive>All Tracks build a new Filter : Playlist, Is Not, [i]the new collection list [/i]

I am not understanding. Are you saying to send all of my playlists into a new playlist in step 3. and in step 4 I also don't understand. Can you please clarify. Sorry

Sorry Timo, mein Senf 😉:

Create an "Auto-Playlist" with the following criteria:
Collection "Music"
Playlist - is not - and select playlists.
Result: rename this AutoPlaylist in the NODE "Playlists" to "Not in Playlists"
This auto-playlist is updated and reacts to changes if a song is entered into another playlist (F5=refresh).
