Hi all,

I've been doing some searching but can't seem to figure out how to create WM10 Playlists by genre. I have even tried Jon's Playlist Editor, but I don't think he has added that feature yet.

What I would like to do is create playlists by grouping together songs by genre. For example: Let's say I have the genre "Rock" and also "Classic Rock" and I want to create a playlist that would group both those genre's (and only those two genre's) together. Can I do this? And, if so, how?

Can someone help?

Note to Jon: Would you consider adding this option to future updates of your Playlist Editor?
(It is a very nice program, :approve: and I think you've done a great job so far. Thanks a lot for your hard work)

Two solutions:
1) I believe that syncing with Windows Media Player allows you to also sync playlists, which I'm pretty sure you can arrange by genre, or
2) if you want to stay away from WMP, you might be able to use this. It's designed for iriver mp3 players, but should work with any UMS device (like a CF/SD card reader). It builds a database file (which was used by the mp3 player) and also can be configured to make "auto-playlists" by genre, etc. A really useful program for my old H320, not sure about how good it would be for a ppc, however.

Chastise me later for posting on an old thread, but this one has a good descriptive title. I found it during my search for a similar solution.

Anyway, PocketMusic (the free version) supports this pretty well with it's playlist organizer. Select by genre, artist, or album. Pretty hot.

Hope this helps someone!
