I want to be a real boy...

I have a soup playlist on the empeg that I want to copy to a "real" playlist. Surely there is a way to do this, but I can't figure it out. It's hard to link a song into multiple playlists when they aren't real playlists but instead it's appearing based on its source.

If you want to copy it and make it stop being a soup (i.e. dynamic updating), then you can Copy and then Deep Paste it into another location. This will create a deep copy of the playlist. I don't know if you can do this with the top level soup (i.e. "By Artists") because I think the soup tag will get copied also....

So if I do something like select all of the "Artists" inside that should be good? Eh. I'll just try it. That hadn't occurred to me.

It's a two layer soup. I guess I have to go deeper, because if I go below the first layer, select them all, copy, and deep paste, I get 2 nested empty playlists, which are the first artist selected, and the first subplaylist in it.

Is there a way I can create another soup view, and then delete the soup tags, maybe?

Hmm. I'll check into why it would be empty ... I haven't tried creating a soup and then removing it's soup tag. You can give it a shot and see what happens.

When I figure out how I will

(Mostly due to empeg not online this moment to try)

crap. it's going to be a pain, unless i can do a search based on parent, because as a 2 layer soup i have the remove the tags in the second layer also.

i didn't think the second layers had soup tags, but I could be mistaken ...

Just got it hooked up. Looks like you're right.

deleting the soup tag works, but has the side effect that it seems to have deleted the soup tag for both of the (identical) soup playlists.

i guess i can just create another, but it does have the annoying "forgot that i fixed playlist order to be based on track number" problem
