Viaene 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 So I'm planning to remake all my playlists etcetera. I use windows media player 11 now and I wonder what you guys use and what program is a handy tool for managing playlists, costum skins, interface,... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 WMP11 is useless and confusing... even though that's what I'm using. I think I'll downgrade to 10 soon. Winamp is much better I think, but for some reason the sound quality's quite bad on my laptop when I use it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 WMP is boo (bad experience, especially with the licenses) Winamp all the way, I don't use playlists often (haven't with WMP either), and I like the library very much and a very cool toy I'm constantly using: minilyrics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 I love iTunes for the playlists. I love the Smart Playlists that let me filter what songs I want to hear. I use them lots. Winamp is cooler, but iTunes playlists are excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Smart Playlists that let me filter what songs I want to hear. can you explain that a bit further? :wacky: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 No... it's too complicated for me to explain I'll let the 'pedia do it: In addition to static playlist support, iTunes supports 'Smart playlists'. Smart playlists are playlists that can be set to update automatically (live updating, like a database query) based on a customized list of selection criteria. Different criteria can be entered to control many aspects of the playlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 't makes sense to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 so.. you have eg a playlist with the Verve and Oasis in it, and it automatically adds Blur songs to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 ^ Well yes, if I had classified the Verve and Oasis as Britpop and then added Blur songs to my library and classified them as Britpop as well. Or, for example, one of its pre-made smart playlists is 90s music (it knows me so well ) so the criterion for that is 'all songs from the years 1990-1999' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Oh okay... well, that really is nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 I'd just search for "Britpop" or "199" then... *shrugs shoulders* (I'm not much for playlists, as I already said) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Oh no... I need playlists. I refuse to have songs off Urban Hymns and Attack of the Grey Lantern played to me independently of their albums. And I created a playlist which consists of songs with a playcount of less than 5, so that I give some attention to songs that I'd otherwise ignore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 I have playlists like: All music Good music Uncalm music calm music for the moods I am in I've considered winamp, anyone has good experience with playlists in winamp? otherwise I'd try iTunes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Winamp playlists are fine in my opinion, except you've to create them yourself. The only automatic thing about Winamp is 'play all songs by [artist]' and 'play all songs from [album]'. Of course, moving songs is easier if you arrange them by artist/album and then select a bunch at a time, but you already know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 that's Microsoft, I haven't used the more recent versions, but when I did you couldn't disable anything... just like you can't uninstall things like the WMP or IE... it just doesn't work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
