Where are the playlists stored ?

[Rodoz6]

Recently I have purchased Media Monkey current version. I'm still learning the gold functions but I cannot see where the playlists are kept. I have an external drive that is shared on my home network. Media monkey is installed on 2 PC's at home and the drive is shared. When I generate a playlist it does not exist in the playlist directory of the other machine. My plan is to compile my playlists and retain them on the shared drive so I can run any saved playlist on either PC. That way I can compile list if one PC is in use. How do I store playlists with the media drive please.

mediamonkey is a organizer player. that is why it is hard to learn when first coming here.

but monkey does not make m3u lists or pls lists. it will if you select your playlists you created in mediamonkey and export them.

but he keeps his in his database along with the songs info and the locations of the songs.
so you never move songs from out side of mediamonkey once you have scanned them in or he will loose the local urls to them and thus mark them as a grayed out unfound song.

the playlists are then known to be kept in a database style which is sql database now. it use to be access but that was messing up.
so if you want to play the playlist in any other player you must export it to a m3u format and then playl that m3u list in the other player.

but if you look around the forum you will see i keep saying to forget the way the other players do things cause monkey does it his way and since he is the fastest one for huge librarys in my book that makes his way the best.

They are stored in the MM database file. You can export them at Tools > Scripts > export playlists.
