Importing Playlists?

Hi Jiri,
I made the considerable mistake of buying EZ CD creator on the recommedation of a friend. It is a terrible rip-off and I have never seen a more badly written conglomeration of software. None of there playlists and DB's are compatible with each other. Once more, in the Sound Steam portion you can't view except the first 50 or so files in a directory. Makes it hard to select files to burn with.
I am VERY pleased with what I have seen of your software and will buy it soon (once I've paid off my Xmas bills). Is there any way to import playlists, such as m3u's. I would also like to import un-EZ CD Creators .cl5 type lists if possible.

Hi Gary,
I am glad that you like Songs-DB!
So far just track order is imported from .m3u playlists during the scan, but full import of playlists will be implemented soon (at least .m3u). I am not sure with other formats, I don't know .cl5 type, but I will check what is possible to do here.

Hi Jiri,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I must be ignorant or have done something wrong. In your previous reply you mentioned that .m3u playlists ARE imported and usable (at least track order). How is it done??? I can't see where any of my .m3u files are visible in your software.

Thanks,
Gary

PS Would you like copy(s) of a un-EZ CD Creator's .cl5 playlist to work with your MSAccess gurus how to convert it? It should be easy.

.m3u playlists are not directly visible as playlists, the track order is imported to individual songs only (to their track order field). Real importing of playlists will be done later.

Yes, you can send me the playlist (to jh@songs-db.com), I can't promise it will be implemented, but I'll see what can be done.
