Exporting Smartlists
« on: July 06, 2003, 08:37:56 am »

Correct (displayed in MC) sort order (Artist/Album/Track):

I've not included the entire smartlist because it's like 300 tracks, but I could email or FTP if you like :-)

Interestingly, this only happens with Smartlists, not Playlists, and it doesn't happen with all Smartlists. In addition, it only happens when I Export All. If I click on the Smartlist, then click File/Export Playlist, it works correctly. Which brings me to point #2

Question 2: How come, when I right-click a Smartlist, "Export Playlist" isn't an option? Until I stumbled across File/Export Playlist, I assumed that "Export All" was the only way to get Smartlists Exported.

For now, I will workaround Question 1 by exporting my Smartlists with File/Export.
