Hi! I want to create a folder that contains copies of the tracks of a playlist, with a two-digit playlist sequence number prepended to the filename in order to preserve the playback order. In other words it should work like Burn Disc, but the destination should just be a folder on the filesystem. Can Sync Handheld or Rename, Move, and Copy Files do this?

You can lock a playlist. Right click on it.

Locking the playlist has nothing to do with what I'm asking. I'm going to upload several playlists, organized into folders, to a cloud service called pCloud, and I want the files in the folders to be listed in playlist order by adding "01." "02." "03." etc to the beginning of the filenames. As I mentioned, Burn Disc is able to do this easily.

Use "Rename, Move, and Copy Files" to do this.

Be sure to change the "Action" menu from the default "Rename" to "Copy"
If you do not want these copied files to be imported into your library, remember to choose a location that is not covered by MC's auto-import settings.

Set the directory as your target directory.
Filename rule would be:

Code: [Select]

padnumber(customdata(#),2). [filename (name)]
More info on these expression functions is available on the wiki if you wish to read...
CustomData()
PadNumber()

Perfect! Those functions are just what I needed but couldn't find. Thank you.
