How to create playlists in WMC with a large library
Okay... Please don't reply like the 1000's of answers I've found here and on the 'net saying
1-Click Libraries
2-Add folders to library
3-Click Create Playlist
4-Select songs
5-Save
This is obvious and frankly after getting 50+ responses elsewhere stating the obvious I'm hoping a real user that has a scaled up system can articulate a useful answer.
The MOST common way Windows users organize their music files is by folder; IE: ..\rock ..\country ..\classical ..\johns music ..\janes music ect.
(Obviously)
So in WMC, following the logic written by all respondants (or illogic). You would add these folders to the library, then create a new playlist, the select the song you want to be part of this new playlist.
Right?
Except that in my and millions of other music lovers cases... there are 10, 20, 50,000+ songs in the collection. It is IMPOSSIBLE to 'select' songs for a decent playlist when anyone has a large collection.
So, I'll try again here since this forum seems to have a bit more creative thinkers... How to create a playlist in WMC... The obvious answer would be to have the option when creating a new playlist of selecting by folder as well as by genre, or artist etc... because THAT is how EVERYONE organizes their files on disk at some level.
Any ideas folks?
Thanks
