Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / May 2008WMP 11 playlist format
I accidentally posted this question in the MAC forum and was hooted off the block. Here is where I should have put it, maybe. I recently bought a CD label maker that included a software package. It only allows importing WMP playlists in .asx, .wax, and .wvx formats. Windows Media Player 11 saves playlists in .wpl format. I assume previous versions of WMP used those old formats for playlists Can I just change the extension to .wax, or is there a conversion routine floating around to change .wpl to .wax? Thanks. >I accidentally posted this question in the MAC forum and was hooted off the >block. Here is where I should have put it, maybe.

You can select from the other playlist formats including M3U, although it's worth mentioning that WAX is exactly equivalent to ASX, but ideally should only contain audio content (and WVX is for video really) WPL format is similar to ASX in some regards, but supports a much wider range of properties such as saved searches (star ratings, album filter and so on) which is what's used when you save an Auto Playlist. HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs So Neil, what you're telling me and all others who have installed Vista Ultimate, that it is lacking the simple ability to print a label to where ever you want it, such as the cd/dvd surface itself with a lightscribe, with out having to purchase more software from other sources when this feature was available on previous versions of MS softwares? What a pity isn't it? > >I accidentally posted this question in the MAC forum and was hooted off the > >block. Here is where I should have put it, maybe. [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 > http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs You confuse me. This feature has never been available on any previous versions of MS softwares. It's always been some sort of external plug-in. As Neil noted, you can use the "Save As..." functionality to save the playlist as an ASX/WVX/WAX format if that's what your tool needs.  SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

I had XP installed on an Hp laptop which used the media center OS and I would burn CD's in mps and have the ability to then take that playlist and burn it to the CD surface with my lighscribed cd/dvd... It was so easy.....I miss that. > You confuse me. > [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > >> Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 > >> http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs |
