I'm doing the last bit of testing for my first contribution to the Zune community: a playlist generator.
Since the others at my workplace have iPods, one thing I hear about is "smart playlists", where you can build a playlist on any number of criteria. It seemed like it could be easily done, so I set out to make a Zune playlist utility. Using this application, you can (essentially) create a multi-criteria search and save the results to a zune playlist file. You can search in 13 fields (artist, genre, title, play count, etc) using 7 different operations (is, is not, contains, etc). There is also a small function to un-exclude files from the library. If you've ever deleted items from the library- but not from the hard drive - and wondered how to get Zune to scan them back in, this function should resolve that problem. I should have it in release form by Monday, June 25th, but sometime Sunday is possible. Hopefully, it will be useful to someone. ![]() |

Sorry but this already exists. It's called an auto-playlist and it is already implemented inside of the zune program. You select the criteria and it automatically creates the playlist for you.

Holy crap, it's almost exactly like my program.
Now I'm a little annoyed about how that feature is so hidden. I never would've thought about right-clicking the playlist menu. Microsoft is so hell-bent on getting rid of the File/Edit/View menus and they're not seeing that it's making basic functionality less visible to beginning users. ![]() |

I didn't know it was still wanted, since it was already in the Zune program. I've been expanding the code to do more with the library anyway, so it's back in a development state. We'll have to see how far I can take it.

I don't think he has been working on this, since it isn't really necessary. But since the Zune Device can only play audio playlists, I doubt he would bother add video functionality, since it wouldn't work on the Zune

I believe it is only on the old software. I recommend WMP11 for making playlists.
