Hi Magnus,
I've been using the MTS since 3.05. It one of those programs I can't live without, so I registered my copy
. Anyhoo, I was wondering if HTML playlist generation could be added to MTS. This is particularly useful when creating DVDs or CDs to archive my MP3s and M3U playlists. In addition, with the 64 character limit, it is difficult to rename the files with many ID3 tag attributes, so creating tables in the playist based on those attributes would really be nice. Currently I'm using a freeware program called Directory Lister (http://home.autocom.pl/mrowka/freeware/dd.html) to do something similar, I can list each MP3 and M3U through a filter using relative links with the file attributes (rel directory\filename, filesize, filedate) in a table, and simply click on the link in the generated HTML "playlist", which loads the MP3 or M3U in Winamp (or the MP3 player of your choice).The only drawback is that I'd like to see the length and bitrate (just a number if CBR, i.e. 192, and a number with a tilde if VBR, i.e. ~207) in the table along with the other attributes,
Are there any plans to include such a feature? I've attached a sample playlist of a DVD I burned. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!

It is already possible to generate custom html lists in Mp3/Tag Studio. Please see the example template available from the template dropdown in the "Create custom lists" tool, in combination with the "Use custom list header"/"Use custom list footer" in the extended settings for this tool in the global settings.

I do see that, but it's not as functional as the attached playlist. Is there any way that an HTML playlist can be coded with relative links to the actual files, with columns of MP3 and or ID3 attributes that can be selected or created from a custom template? Its functionality can be previewed best in a browser. Check it out
