The Old School Playlist Maker is very useful if you have an mp3 player that does not support playlists. Most of these players play mp3's in alphabetical order. It is very annoying when you want to have certain files played in a particular order and these players don't support that.
Well, The Old School Playlist Maker solves the problem. The way most of these players work is
they play files in alphabetical order. So a file with the name "a.mp3" will be played before "b.mp3". This is the way my Raite plays them. So The Old School Playlist Maker takes in a playlist and renames the files so they will be in alphabetical order and therefore be played the way you specified
in the playlist. It does NOT modify the actual mp3 files in any way. It just renames them.
Our Review: Old School Playlist Maker takes a playlist, and converts the file-names of the tracks so that they play in the same order without the playlist (i.e. changing them to a.mp3, b.mp3 etc.) Although it seems a bit like the guy who changed his name to PX 2456 instead of getting a personalised number plate, Old School is the way to go if your player can't handle playlists, unfortunately most players do support playlists, rendering this rather pointless. Still, it is only $5, you can have a list of up to 99999 tracks and the novel idea has to count for something... doesn't it?
