Winamp Question

[Bond]

Ok, I have my play list inside of the LimeWire folder. My songs are organized in a certain way, but whenever I transfer that play list to Winamp the order gets screwed up into something different. So what I'm wondering that if there is a way to transfer the order of your play list songs to Winamp? Without having to manually do it of course.

what winamp version?
how are you transfering them?
and check its sort options on winamp. it may be set to do something with em

i had the same problem so i transferred the list of songs manually. egads it was horrible...however it can automatically put the songs in alphabetical order so if you can deal with that then you'll have no problem

I haven't found a way to "transfer' the order of a WinAMP 3 Playlist, or a WinAMP 2 playlist (I Use WA 3 now), sadly I have 160+ songs all together (That's just what's on the HDD not even the extra stuff) , and making a playlist manually tkaes hours, it's a pain in the @$$ and I hate it! My advice is to select the songs in short small "doeses", save the Playlist, and keep "adding' to it, in order, otherwise you'll get the same mess I have, a playlist set up like Crap, which needs to be re-organized. MAybe search winamp's website for a plug-in, I have one "useful" plug in whcih converts MIDI's to WAVs and I can than take the WAV, Compres it to MP3, and burn it to a CD-R, or I cna just burnt he WAV, it's a neat little feature to say the least, and it's also a LOT of fun to use, now that I can put my 8-bit style MIDIs onto CD, but for just mkaing a playlist, I'd look for a plug-in. Did you try saving it under a differnt "Playlist File tye", such as b4 or one of those? I did that and it ususally works pretty well.

Check in the preferences, and set the box marked "sort on load".

You also have to remember that Winamp sorts by ID3 tag, and will only sort by the song path if you click "misc" > "sort" > "sort by path and filename".

Failing that, get yerself an ID3 tag editor.

P.S. ID3 tags suck, the ones ogg's uses are much better :) But then ogg's are just much better anyway. Quite why anyone would still use mp3's on their computers I don't know.
