PlayLister

PlayLister is a lightweight audio application that helps users create and convert playlists in formats supported by different media players.
One great advantage of this utility is that being portable it won’t require a previous setup. This way, you can carry it on a USB stick. It won’t conflict with existing DLL files in your system.

Basic interface

The program’s layout is fairly basic. It has two main windows that take care of the tool's core mechanics. Dedicated to be a playlist generator, the home ‘screen’ allows the user to add files and folders, and choose the formats accepted by the utility.
The file and folder selections are separated from each other, and although the overall music list implementation makes sense in the end, it does take a little while to get used to the design.
Additionally, a second, smaller screen lets the user convert existing files made in, say Winamp, to iTunes compatible ones.

Multiple file support

PlayLister supports a big list of media formats that include from mainstream audio ones, like MP3 and WAV, to video standard files, like AVI and MPG. Surprisingly enough, MIDI files are also supported.
Another feature concerns the playlist conversion process which, although smaller in scale, it works flawlessly. The application supports M3U and PLS for Winamp standard formats, WPL ones for Windows Media Player, and Apple-dedicated XML playlists.
Every time the program starts creating or converting playlists, it offers a big amount of file encoding standards that include traditional Chinese, Greek, English, Thai, and so on.

Conclusion

Offering a simple set of options, PlayLister's main feature is to help users transfer their music playlists made in one format to another. Although it’s not incredibly advanced in scope, it is useful to those that simply want to keep their options simple every time they switch from one music player to another.
