iTunes: database ID equivalent for playlists?


  • Subject: iTunes: database ID equivalent for playlists?

I found out the hard way that the "index" of a playlist is subject to change. It took me a while to figure out that was what was going on. It seems the index is representative of the position in the list of playlists and so if you create a playlist that ends up prior to some previous one you are keeping track of via index, then the index of the former changes and you end up pointing at some other playlist. Ouch. It doesn't look like there is a playlist equivalent to the "database ID" of tracks, or am I just missing it?

One solution will be to give the playlist a name that is effectively guaranteed to be unique, such as appending the date & time to it, but if I can avoid having to do that that would be preferable.

Steve
