My collection is complete. Fully edited and cleaned 250GB's covering all genres.
My final step is to now create playlists to make it easy to find what to listen to. For example, a playlist for "sad music".
So how do playlists actually work? I'll be using M3U and PLS formats. I've read a lot about playlists breaking and I've had it happen to myself before. I would play a playlist and because I moved files around the playlist gave errors like "file not found".
I want to go through this long process of adding songs to playlists PAINLESSLY!. I want to get it right the first time. Google search isn't spitting out anything for me.
I need an answer for this specific question: Do playlists only keep a text of the file path in them such as C/Music/genres/rock/beatles/all you need is love.... and what would happen if I moved the collection to another computer or mp3player with a different file path such as D/Music/genres/...how would the playlist know how to find the songs to play when it thinks it's in C when it's in D? Also, What happens when I change the tittle and artist tags? Will playlists still work (obviously will if only filepath's are used)? So are only filepaths used?
Finally, tips and suggestions about playlists and possibly saving me pain that some of you had to go through is greatly appreciated. help a brother out
Thanks guys
