How to Save Autoplaylist?

Post by kathy2343 »

I've been a user for multiple versions, and I'd call myself medium skilled--I know how to do quite a few things but am not an expert in the finer points of MM. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to save an autoplaylist in MM5. I choose Edit/New Autoplaylist, change the title, enter my criteria and sort options...and then what? I don't see any kind of Save or OK button, and if I click the X next to the playlist title, it closes and doesn't seem to save.

Help?

Thank you! I didn't think it was being saved, because it wasn't appearing in my Playlists node. But I realized I had somehow created it as a sub of another playlist, and since that one was collapsed in the node I couldn't see the new one beneath it. I simply moved it to the main Playlists folder, and there it is.

I appreciate your help--it got me looking more carefully! :)

I find it quite useful to have my Auto Playlists at the top of my list, so I prefix the Auto Playlist name with a # character.

I also group / hierarchy to the Playlists e.g.

#Audio Books
---> #FLAC Audio Books
---> #M4B Audio Books
---> #MP3 Audio Books

Artist
---> Album 1
---> Album 2 etc.

On the Android device it makes things a little easier to navigate.
