Playlist Creator

  home - software - playlist creators

Publisher's description:

With Playlist Creator you can create playlists easily and quickly. The composition and creation of a playlist is done within seconds: Just add all desired files, enter the name of the playlist and select its save location and one moment later your first playlist is already done. The fastest and easiest method for adding files to the playlist is via drag and drop from Windows Explorer. The user can choose if the program should readout ID3tags and which data exactly should be extracted from the tags. Furthermore you can create dynamic titles using simple variables.

You can add files of any file type to the playlist. After installation of the program you'll find many predefined file types. If the desired file type is missing you can easily add this type to the list. For compatibility with a wide variety of hardware and software Playlist Creator can create playlists either in PLS-format or M3U-format.
