I think that is an absolute workflow blocker. Do you know how long it takes to save such a playlist? How long should it take MP3tag to close? I remember a thread where even the reactivation of hibernating drives took too long: > [@BAT file for closing / restarting Windows 7 with additional pre-task](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/bat-file-for-closing-restarting-windows-7-with-additional-pre-task/19546): > > I have this problem: I tell my Windows 7 x64 to shut down or restart using the buttons in the Start Menu- and it does it. But first it does of course a bunch of things that take time [which are things that I did not implemented, just the default system behavior]; and apparently only after them it accesses all of the hard drives for check up or something. And as I have my archive drive set to turn off after 5 minutes of idle work, my reboot time is most of the time far much longer than it should-… It would have been so nice if you had left this old thread as it was: also hibernating. Nobody saw a reason to take up the idea and answer in favour of it. And now you also got two posters who are not really fond of it. Can't we leave it as it is? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/create-playlist-dump-on-exit/41510)._
