Creat&Backup&restore audio playlist

boombastic · 2007-12-24, 08:50

Merry Xmas to all of you!!!
I just finished to create some audio playlists insidd MediaPortal. It was a lot of work and i have two questions:

1)which is the faster method to create them?Can i use some external applications to create them and then import into Mediaportal?
2)Most important:can i create a backup or export my playlists in some way to easly restore in case i have to format Windows installation?

Many thanks!!

1. I am using MP to create them, but yes, there are software that can assist you. Hopefully someone else that is using them can help us on this point.

2. You can just copy all the playlist files (usually *.m3u) to a backup drive/pc/removable-disk. Important though, when you reformat, you need to place your music in the exact same drive/folder for the playlist to work again.
