Hi there,
I have been reading the documentation and forum, but still cannot figure out how to create batch playlists —mainly, because the answers are pretty complex for my limiting coding skills.
I need the following: creating a series of playlists by combining two elements of the metadata. For example: Playlist 1 (year 1985, heavy metal); Playlist 2 (year 1985, ballads), etc. I do not need them in separate folders, just the playlists.
So far I have been doing it manually, but takes log time since I need like 20 playlists from these combinations.
Sorry if my question is too basic.
Thxs.

Did you have a look at the function File\>Generate Playlist?

Did you try out the filter with
`%year% IS 1985 AND %genre% IS ballads`

Thxs! That is what I have been doing so far, 20 times. I wonder whether there is a way of making the 20 combinations automatically with one click or so.

Here is a suggestion using a batch file.

> So, lyrics are similar to cover image files, they're either stored as seperate files (.txt / .lrc) or embedded into the Mp3 files (in the USLT frame). Batch exporting lyrics is super useful because there're many tools that facilitate editing lyrics, and those tools can't be used unless the lyrics are exported. Currently it's possible to batch import lyrics (from .txt or .lrc files) into the USLT frame, but the reverse is not possible. When trying to batch export lyrics using the Export feature,…
This also means that there is no one-click solution.
