Playlists -How to share?

Hi All
I have organised for my friend to get MC and set it up for him, both on MC22 now.

Our media files share the same address pathways so I figured an easy job to share playlists.....

I was expecting to export/import and job done but seems its not that easy. I can export (right click > export) to an m3u or mpl file but when I "import" it (no right click function but File > import) all I get is an imported, well, .m3u or .mpl file in "recent imports". I was expecting the expanded playlist to magically pop up under the playlist tree under its title, showing all the individual tracks just the way it was when it was exported.

Now, clicking on the this m3u or mpl file inside MC wont play it.Huh? But, clicking on the file outside MC starts playback with all the tracks individually listed in "Playing now".

The workaround was to "send" all these tracks to a playlist created under "Playlists".

I am hoping there is a much easier way??

Thanks
D

Doctor Who should work for you.

Dantos:
Many thanks
this looks interesting for sharing playlists from strangers for which you may or may not own the media files.It also involves other (as yet) unknowns, like play doctor, dr who, and performer store.
Inst there just a simple way of just exporting and importing your own playlists without going through a convoluted process?
Apart from sharing with friends and family (with identical media) there must be MC users that have MC set up at home,office, holiday home.....and just want to export a playlist from one to another?
thanks

MC main menu: File ¦ Export Playlist and File ¦ Import Playlist

Hi Andrew
I agree it would seem that's how it *should* work. Does it work differently for you to what I explained in my first post?
