Playlist order arrangement in WMP

[ARW]

Anybody know how to arrange songs in a specific order in WMP? I suspect that there is no built-in support for this, but neither can I figure out how WMP is ordering songs. Is there a third party application that could handle this? I'm using an i600, so app locking may be an issue.

TIA,

Al

use notepad to create ASX files, then place the ASX file in the start menu:

Here is mine for one CD:

<asx version="3">
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\A New Beginning.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\The Anthem.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Wondering.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\The Story of My Old Man.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Girls and Boys.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\My Bloody Valentine.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Hold On.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Riot Girl.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Say Anything.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\The Day That I Die.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\The Young and The Hopeless.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Emotionaless.wma"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "\Storage Card\My Documents\my music\Good Charlotte\Movin' On.wma"/></entry>
</asx>


Then you save the file with a ASX extension and save it to \IPSM\Windows\start menu\

There is also a freeware app that can create the ASX for you here:

The UI is a bit clunky but it works well. :)
