TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Problem:  You have a nicely curated VLC playlist in xpsf format, and you want to copy those files (and only those files) to a new destination.  Like, your phone or portable device, for a trip or something. There is a tool called "XSPF Export Tool" out there, done by Gerald at Dragonzero.  It did not work for me. There is another tool called AmoK Playlist Copy .  It does not support .xspf playlist format. So what worked for me was: -  In VLC, save the playlist into *.m3u format, and -  Use AmoK Playlist Copy to copy the playlist files to a new directory. Worked perfect for me.

Update August 2022:  The solution below did NOT work for me, so three more years of putting up with this nonsense. Pretty much every time I ran Macroworks, it would hog the CPU to the point where the machine became almost completely unresponsive.  It took 20-25 minutes just to start Task Manager and kill it.  However, I may have found another solution:  Set Macroworks' "Priority" in Task Manager to "Low".  This seems to let it hog the CPU without actually getting in the way of anything. This is (again) a new development and I don't know if it is going to pan out, but it's worth a shot. ------------------------------- Update Oct 2019:  Per the comments below, I updated to the latest MW (as of mid-Oct) and  it seems to be completely fixed. Oddly, PI does not mention this anywhere that I could find.  Perhaps they don't want to admit they had an issue, or perhaps the issue really was confined to a few lucky users. However, you DO need to manually...
