I would say a torrent would be the best way to distribute that kind of thing/size... though I must admit I am so far out of the loop with torrents (equally for legitimate and ... not-so-much ones!)

You used to be able to pick single files from torrents if you didnt want the whole package.. if the user named then ok and its mainly a-z, then its easy to see what u want as u scroll.. but like you, ive not used torrents for years so i dunno how they work nowadays

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Watch sub folders as playlist folders ?

« on: September 06, 2018, 07:32:13 PM »

HI..
Can there be a way to use playlists to 'watch' subfolders?  so they can auto-update themselves?

Hope im not asking dumb questions, but iv'e had winamp for decades.. its awesome.. but what has annoyed me for many years is the way it cant auto update certain folders for certain playlists... its all library stuff :/
you see, i've had many mp3's since year one.... so its a big collection.. i ended up just moving folders/files into genres instead of just a-z.. my dance collection probably made me do that.. so many random names that got lost.
Anyway, i also made playlists in winamp of the same names.. that takes about 10 secs at leisurely pace to delete/add to update the list manually... but is a pain to do all or most of them at once...
if the files are renamed/moved, you need to do it all again..
I have too many files & genres to redo everything, and its 'almost' very organized tbh, so i dont need to redo anything,
The playlists of what is basically pc folders down the side mean i have instant access to everything.. then occasionally i create a new list for the special tracks etc.. but everything is in the same easy place no matter what software i use.. some folders are handy for mixing etc.
I went digging tin the menu's many times over the years and can only see library content that the watch folder option is linked to.

So, recap..
- I need the option for each playlist to watch one folder [i can see the need to watch several folders so options for more would also be good].
- There was also an older post about a similar issue with the watch folders, but he wanted it for other reasons.. https://getwacup.com/community/index.php/topic,229.0.html
he wants the option to disable the 'watch' but only on some subfolders in his music folder..
im guessing the 2 problems could be worked from a single method


Another flaw is the 'missing files'   im sure years ago once it highlighted tracks missing, you could tell it where the new location was, and it then went thro the new location to match up the rest in current playlist if any did.. now you cant tell it from the playlist.. i think thats another reason why i ended up finding out about the above mentioned folder/playlist matching..  Winamp made me do it !!

Or am i asking dumb stuff, can the great winamp already do any of the above?
