Title: Missing All playlists in 10.0.30
Post by: bmunroe on January 08, 2004, 03:54:26 pm
Almost all.  I installed 10.0.30 and my entire library and playlists disappeared.  The only playlist were "recently played" and "top tunes." Nothing Else.  No smartlists, no other playlist, nothing.

I reinstalled.  Nothing.  Uninstalled and reinstalled.  Nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Brian

I do not have any smartlist. Only playlists?
 

Have you created any?  There are no longer pre-created auto-smartlists out of the box, but it's easy to add the ones you like using "New Smartlist" dialog. (preset menu)

Start a thread if there are more details to hammer out.  Thanks.

You're kidding, right?  Why would you remove all of those smartlists - random playlists, task playlists, etc.  They were great.

In fact, those playlists were one of the things that attracted me to MC in the first place.

Sure, I can create some, but why aren't they there?  It was also a good way to see how smartlists can be created.  

Seems like a big step backwards to me.

Not as bad as it sounds.

There is an easy way now to add them. Right click 'Playlists' - 'add smartlist'. In the following menu you'll get all the presets to add.

I think it is more of a shock to existing users than to new users...if you've been using MC for a while, you just sort of expect them.  I don't think they get removed when you upgrade...just not installed by default.   The fact that they are presets is pretty cool...I only used a few of them and had to keep deleting the ones I didn't want.

Drowbie is right.  It was quite a shock.  Hey, where did all of the smartlists go?  Then to find out that they were taken away on purpose.  

But look, there they are as presets when you add a new smartlist.  Ok, I feel better now.
