MP3tag is the greatest tag manager, bar none!
I have 2,306 albums, each in their own folder. Is there a way to generate an .m3u list for each album in one step?
Thank you!
Tom

In Options \> Playlists specifiy a playlist name like %\_folderpath%%\_directory%.m3u
Then load the files and select only one of them.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P and hold down the Shift key as long the playlists are written.
