Nikos:
This is a good post. I had not considered using scraps this way. This is the way I will probably build all my playlists from now on. I prefer using only one file manager, xplorer² pro, and now I can avoid the Windows Explorer windows in my media player applications.

The video is a wonderful addition to the post as it shows us how you work with xplorer² pro. It is interesting to see you, the program's creator, use the program.

Thanks.

Hello, here I disagree with this blog (is it okay?)

Please give me a way to link xplorer2 with the only decent free player (no matter anybody could say) i.e. foobar2000. WMP is a piece of .... as for Winamp: Functions are improving, but it became crappy. Commercial shitware.

The use of crap folder to make playlists does not convince me as you explain it. We could use a find selection with specific criteria, but I think that's a better job for an audio player. In this regard tagging and creating playlist foobar2000 shines.

If Mr Nikos read the post, I would like to link foobar2000 with the audio files and KMPayer with the video files, since wmp does not play dvd's without a commecial codec to purchase. Is there a way to link in the registry audio files in xplorer2 to play in preview with foobar2000 and video files in KMPlayer or similar player?

look what i said for winamp you can do with any of your players, just drag-drop files from x2 scrap pane onto their window

Only a sensitive soul would take a typo personally, no matter how applicable, evincing, and humorous it's accidental intent.

What's more alarming is the example of "Diamantopoulos" as music; did you not squirm with humiliating discomfort when Yanni sprang from the West?  Or Kitaro in the East?  Or Mannheim Steamroller in the middle?  Oh Lord, I remember the 80's.  Shoot me now.  

All in jest, in a Well-Tempered Clavier sort of way, of course.

And for organizing/using music collections (especially very, very large ones [hundreds of GB, thousands of ripped CD's]), MediaMonkey is to be recommended as the x2 of music (ridiculously complex options, but insidiously powerful and simple), so to speak.  It has a 'file auto-organize' feature which can make grown men weep.  (Especially those with sensitive souls.)
