Are they actual files saved individually?  I'd like to share the static playlists with other software, and ideally, sync both types with sync services (i.e. Dropbox, Mesh).  That's only really possible if the files are saved individually.

Thanks...

they're a part of the library and only MC can read them.

if you right click on 'Playlists' in the tree, there's an option there called 'Export all playlists'. You can use that to generate .m3u files.

Maybe experiment with that and see if it fits the bill?

DOH!

Is there any way to automate the process?  i.e. Export all playlists every week.  I reformat a lot (2-3 times a year) and I'm trying streamline my backup and restore.

Yep.  Create a batch file with the following command:
MC12.exe /MCC 20004, 0

Execute it whenever you want with windows scheduler or AT command line util.

zxsix >> This is a good start, however, it exports Smartlists as Static Playlists (which is actually cool for another use case), but in terms of backups, I'd like to have the Smartlists stay as Smartlists.  Is that possible?  Where can I get more details on this cmd line tool?

They are part of the library.  The program automatically makes regular backups of the library.
Also you can use code 20011 in that command line to force a library backup.

Where can I get more details on this cmd line tool?
