Bonjour.
J'ai créé de nombreuses listes de lecture. Je sais les sauvegarder une à une sur mon disque dur (fichiers m3u ou xspf).
Est-il possible de sauvegarder l'ensemble de mes listes de lecture en une seule fois?
Merci
====================
Hello.
I have created many playlists. I know how to save them one by one on my hard disk (m3u or xspf files).
Is it possible to save all my playlists at once?
Thank you

Playlists are dependent on the path & the library location or I would say just save the entire folder where the xspf or other are kept
I use the comment & group field to add tags that follow the files & are included in the metadata

Merci pour cette réponse. Mon problème exact est le suivant: lorsque je modifie un liste de lecture dasn clémentine, elle n'est pas sauvée sur le disque dur. Je dois le faire manuellement..
Lorsque je modifie plusieurs listes de lecture dans Clémentine, j'aimerais pouvoir les enregistrer toutes sur mon disque dur en une seule opération.
est-ce possible?

Thank you for your reply. My exact problem is the following: when I modify a playlist in Clementine, it is not saved on the hard disk. I have to do it manually.
When I edit several playlists in Clementine, I'd like to be able to save them all to my hard disk in a single operation.
Is this possible?

Are you trying to save the playlists or the files that make up the playlist?  
If you are saving a playlist as an xspf it will point out it is different than the existing xspf file & do you wish to overwrite?  
The only way I know of to save the files that make up a playlist is to
Right click & copy to device, you can then move the files to a folder on you computer  
You can open the xspf file outside of clementine with text editor & see what songs are on it

Hello.
Thank you again for your answer.
Indeed, I want to save the playlists, not the files.
I created several lists: music01 music02 etc. I can save music01.xspf, then music02.xspf etc.
I would like to know if it is possible to save in a single command musiqu01, musique02, musiqu03 etc etc.
Is this possible?
Thank you very much

Nothing straight forward  
I use the comment & group fields, as they are written to the file meta data & will be recognized by other players, ratings, playlists not so much   
Example:  
Add all the songs from an artist to a play list, delete all the songs that you don't want to hear, assign what remains as group 1, repeat for several artists  
Build a smart playlist filtering for group 1  
I've gone through a bunch of my library, so group 1 is 5000 files  
I can add additional filters, like exclude genres jazz, pop, less than 7 minutes....
I use the comment field for rating, I mark favorites $, my wife's favorites *   

I also abuse genre for criteria like long, duplicate, alternate version, vinyl in addition to the more standard: rock, pop, jazz, classical, folk, swing....  

With these methods if my computer dies as long as I have a current backup of my songs, I can rebuild my playlists, try a different player no problem  
The ability to build smart playlists with as many criteria as I enter keeps me on Clementine or Strawberry :D
