How to send sorted playlist to iPod

Post by kaichandler »

I've downloaded a series as a set of podcasts. They are all numbered eg.

Podcast 001 - The first podcast
Podcast 002 - The second podcast etc.

002 was released after 001

I've sent them to a playlist in which they appear with the most recent (002) at the top. As I want to listen to them in sequential order, I've resorted by clicking the title tab so I now have the first (001) at the top of the list. However, when I send them to the iPod they appear in date order with the most recent first. I did not have this issue with MMW4.

What do I need to do in MMW5 so I can play the series sequentially on the iPod?

Thanks

Are you using the Playlist on the iPod and if so, did you save the changed order after you sorted on Title?

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 are you using?

Are you using the Playlist on the iPod YES

Did you save the changed order after you sorted on Title? I sorted on Title in the Playlist in MMW5 before sending to the iPod

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 are you using? 5.0.2.2500

Sorting a Playlist in MediaMonkey does not save that order. You need to actually tell MediaMonkey that you want to save the new sorted order for the Playlist: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... a_Playlist

I was able to find the "Save new order" button. Thank you once again!

Unfortunately I was then unable to send the playlist files to my iPod. I had this issue a while back (viewtopic.php?f=33&t=99917&p=486286#p486286) and it was only solved after a lot of help from Peke and Ludek.

I've decided to revert to WM4 for the time being as it seems to work so well for me.
