Solve : Winamp HELP?

Answer»

I am USEING WINAMP and I have 2. Playlists that I created.

Now I know you just click on the Playlist that you want to ad music to then you click on Ad File or Ad Directory at the bottom of the Winamp window.

My Q/A is if I click on ad Directory or ad File what is the diferance???

And Q/A 2.

Is there a WAY to have Winamp keep an eye on a Directory so if I ad a song to a folder Winamp can update my playlist and Ad the song to it?

I sometimes use Winamp, albeit an older version.

When you click Add Dir, it will pop up a pick list. Notice that you can only 'drill down' to directories (or folders, if you prefer that term instead). You cannot select an individual file. You can select a directory, and Winamp will add all the music files in that directory at once.

You should also see a checkbox that will tell it to recurse sub directories.
If you have that on, it means that in addition to the seleced directory, Winamp will also search all directories below it, and add all music files it finds.

When you click Add File, Winamp again will pop up a pick list, but this time you can can choose files. ONE at a time, or multiple files if you hold down on Ctrl or Shift.

Your best bet is to EXPERIMENT with it for a few minutes, and you'll see the difference in the two functions, and in the future you'll know which one suits you best at the moment.

Good question. I don't know. It will be interesting to find out.

I have not tried it, nor gone beyond seeing:
"A directory watcher and automatic playlist enqueue plug-in
Watches your music directories for changes and adds new files to the end of your playlist."

If there is more to read there, you should - before attempting to install it.


But it sure does sound good, doesn't it?
