    WinAMP ate my playlist..

    I just spent the last couple of hours compiling my favourite songs on a new playlist - and then winamp crashed and now the playlist is corrupt - it appears empty. Does anyone know if its possible to fix a corrupt playlist? Unfortunately the playlist was not captured in my backup routine so i can't restore from a previous version.

    The playlist file size appears correct - winamp will open the playlist but won't show any songs and WMP11 tells me it cannot open the playlist because it is not valid.

    Re: WinAMP ate my playlist..

    Indeed it is, however it looks very different from the other playlists that work. I can see the song titles so i could manually extract these and make a new playlist - time consuming but at least i can re-create my playlist as it was previously.

    Thanks.
