Playlist.m3u Question

[carlitos]

Greetings - I see that Roxio 2009 creates a playlist.m3u file when burning an MP3 CD. Just curious...does Roxio 2009 allow me to change the default name of playlist.m3u (i.e. MyTunes.m3u). My player displays the playlist name and I would like to customize the name (other than playlist.m3u). Thanks and have a great day!

Hi Jim, Thank you for your reply. (The audio unit in my SUV displays the playlist file name. It originally displayed "playlist.m" when I created the MP3 CD via Roxio 2009 (along with the title of the track, track number and elapsed time). I copied the contents of the MP3 CD onto my hard drive, renamed the playlist.m3u file to the name of the artist.m3u, and copy the contents onto a CD. When I play the new MP3 CD now, it displays the artist.m3u file name. That's why I was wondering if Roxio 2009 would let me give the .m3u file a custom name rather than defaulting to playlist.m3u. I appreciate you checking into it. Thanks again.

My CD Player does not display either the Disc Name or the Playlist name, so I am unable to test for that but I will take your word for it. Kind of a cool feature…

 

I see nothing in Roxio that will allow for this.

 

I did one similar to what you described using the burned CD in one drive and adding its' contents to Creator Classic. Then I renamed the Playlists (boy there are bunch of them) and burned a new CD.

 

In Music Disc Creator I made a disc called Do Dah

 

 

In Classic I have Do Dah in my F:\ drive and added everything to my Data Project. There I renamed all of the Playlists to AAA and the Disc Name to Plan B.

 

 

The disc worked in a couple of Players but mine do not have the feature to display the Playlist name (didn't try WMP??? That was Stupid!)

 

Unless someone will show what we are missing, we can only hope that Roxio will add this feature in new versions.

Renaming the playlist shouldn't make any difference.As long as it's in a format that the player recognizes (m3u,wpl,etc,,) then it can be named anything.

 

I also cannot find anywhere in MDC that allow you to change the playlist name.

 

Jim,as far as there being so many to change if you go to the Project settings you can tell it what format of playlist to include.If you know what a player uses this lets you just include the one you need.Unfortunately,in the same place you can't change the name.

Thanks Terry that does trim off the fluff!

I don't do audio but I don't think you are correct???

 

I think the name that is displayed is the Disc Name and not the playlist name.

 

I will try a couple and see what happens. – (old dog, new trick?)
