1302352 2012-09-20 06:16:00 I have spent conciderable time grooming a music media library to my satifaction.
This involved installing WMP Plus to get a tag editor.

Questions:

How to save this setting.

Can this setting be transfered or exported to Rhythmbox on Zorin OS 6

1302353 2012-09-20 11:33:00 Most programs, if you make alterations and save they will stay as you put them.

Transferring -- Could be a bit awkward, using two different programs going to a different OS e.g. Windows to Linux.

Linux doesn't have WMP. Not saying it cant be done, but could be pushing it.

1302358 2012-09-29 13:28:00 Hi Driftwood

Here's how to fix multiple Playlist entrys in WMP .

1 . Copy this: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

2 . Goto START then RUN .

3 . Paste .

4 . A folder will open with the database folders and files . Make a new folder named OLD .

5 . Drag and Drop all the other folders and files to OLD .

6 . Close WMP database folder .

7 . Open WMP .

8 . Shock,:eek: Horror . All your music is gone!!

9 . Relax . Your music is safe . It's not in the database yet, that's all . Let's rebuild it .

10 . Goto the LIBRARY Tab then ADD TO LIBRARY .

11 . Make sure MY PERSONAL FOLDERS are selected .

12 . If you don't want any folder in the list click the IGNORE Button . If your music folder isn't on the list click the ADD Button .

13 . Click OK .

14 . Sit back, relax and let WMP do it's thing . Once complete - your music will appear as you want it to be,

I too have spent many hours tagging my music . Couple of handy free downloads are MP3TAG ( . mp3tag . de/en/download . html" target="_blank">www . mp3tag . de) and MP3GAIN ( . sourceforge . net/download . php" target="_blank">mp3gain . sourceforge . net) .

Hope this helps . . .

Hi Driftwood, I'm the author of WMP Plus. The Party Shuffle playlist that you're seeing doesn't get created by WMP itself, but by my plug-in as a part of its Party Shuffle feature.

I'm afraid that it's currently not possible to disable the automatic creation of this playlist. I intentionally didn't make this possible because Party Shuffle is only really active when the Party Shuffle playlist is playing. However I will consider adding such an option in one of the next versions of WMP Plus.
