Cleaning Lab 10 creates a playlist of tunes downloaded to a cd or storage media. I'm trying to use Lab 16 and am having trouble with 16 not creating this playlist. Is Cleaning Lab 16 Deluxe capable of creating this playlist?
In Cleaning lab 10 the playlist is (*m3u,*cue)
Cleaning Lab can't create any playlists.
I'm on ACL2013 (version 19.0.1.12 and I can create a playlist by exporting the songs to single wave files. The playlist m3u is created. If I open it instead of each wave file, it loads the project tracks in the right order.
Look up "playlist" in Help.
Hi Sandy,
Make sure that you have a marker with the song name at the beginning of each song.
Do File, Export, and change the parameter to export each file individually. Change the folder to one just for your album. Then export. the m3u file is created automatically.
Here is the text from the manual:
"Each track in its own file with names: Exports each track (i.e. the area between one track marker and the next) into a separate audio file list. If the tracks are saved individually, then a file (.m3u) will be created which contains the names of the individual audio files in the correct order. This is practical since you can open the list file again and load all of the tracks that belong to the project in the right order all in one go. The list file contains the name of the project; the list field allows different naming schemes for the audio files."
The m3u file will be stored in the same folder. You can go to File, New, the File, Load Audio file and select the m3u file. This will load all of the compiled wave files into ACL.
Remember, the m3u is a playlist to do this in ACL, not for playing back songs like on an ipod or something. For that you have to make a playlist with the app.
