Winamp: Automatically create playlists of similar titles - how it works
If you like the current song, Winamp can automatically create playlists of similar titles. The necessary plug-in is supplied with the installation.
Step 1: Analyze music library with Winamp
Before you can use the playlist generator, Winamp must first collect the necessary data about your music library. To do this, start the scan in the settings of the media player:
- Open Winamp and open the settings with the key combination [Ctrl] + [P].
- Switch to the "Plugins" tab and select "Media library".
- Mark the entry "Nullsoft Playlist Generator" and click on "Configure plug-in".
- A new window is opening up. Select the entry "Scan automatically in the background when Winamp starts" and click on "Scan". Depending on the size of your library, the first scan may take some time.
Step 2: create a playlist with similar songs
After the scanning process is finished, you can close all settings windows. Now choose a song that you like.
- Right-click on the song and select the entry "Play songs that are similar to [song title]".
- The playlist generator opens. Here you can still adjust the playlist manually, save it to your computer or play it directly.
- Under "Options" you can also limit the playlist to a certain number of songs or allow only one song per artist.
Tip: You can get even more variety with the integrated Winamp radio.
