Don't eat it. It's mine.

Hey. What's up?

So I'm like, totally planning on getting an iRiver soon, and I like heard you could like, load Winamp playlists onto it. I, as an iTunes user, immediately downloaded Winamp and got all my media on there as well, using the files that iTunes had. Uno problemo though. I don't know how to "create playlist from selection" which creates a playlist with an appropriate name as you can easily do in iTunes, and the few playlists I do have aren't in alphabetical order. What the heck is going on? Am I making sense? Can anyone help? Thanks.

.m3u or .pls playlist extensions?

Winamp is really easy, just load up the files you want to put in some sort of list, you can sort them with a CTRL + Shift + 3. You can right click on any file names that look a bit wonky and edit their tags, ie rename them

Then hit CTRL + S to save your playlist as a "filename.m3u"

it's just kinda annoying that i have to name the playlists myself.

i'm being a lazy cunt, aren't i?

Yes, you are. Rou-rou's method is how I do it on mine, and if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you. Which iRiver model are you getting by the way? The iHP-120 which I have is canny good if that's any reassurance, but there's this new model out with a colour screen and everything, why a colour screen is needed on a music playing device I don't know but if you're a gadget freak type then you'll love it.

ah I think I misunderstood you,

I used itunes once for a split second and you can rate songs and sort by genre? I know winamp doesn't have rating capabilities, not sure about being able to tell it to say play 'rock' or 'banjo techno' genres.

maybe the iriver comes with a handy util for your PC?

I keep looking at these thinking that has to be a bargain
