thanks for the post. Try this..Save your Playlist as a backup. Then do a search, press Enter (as most would to invoke) and the entire Playlist has zero contents. I am hoping the suggestion by Case will override to involuntary habit of pushing "Enter"I agree that the natural response after entering a term in any "Search" dialog is to press "Enter," and that it would be best if Foobar could accomodate that especially when it appears the current situation can lead to a catastrophic result.

thanks for the post. Try this..Save your Playlist as a backup. Then do a search, press Enter (as most would to invoke) and the entire Playlist has zero contents. I am hoping the suggestion by Case will override to involuntary habit of pushing "Enter"Are you claiming just using search overwrites playlists? Are you certain you don't hit enter after typing, that would send the results to selected playlist.
Note that if you overwrite a playlist by accident, you can hit Ctrl+Z to undo the damage. One doesn't need to manually save FPL files because of fear of misclicks.
The ellipsis (...) button at the end of input field allows you to send the files to a new playlist or to a new autoplaylist. If you have a habit of hitting enter accidentally, you can try if enabling 'Library viewer selection' playlist at Preferences -> Media Library makes the search work in a way you like.
Great to know! Have been using fb2k for a decade, albeit at a skill level amounting to nothing more than basic playback and tinkering with a component here and there (hell, I even forgot until just now, that I created this account back in 2020 when I tried register an account with my same address, lol). Gotta say I love how well foobar accommodates Ctrl-Z reliant doofuses like myself (lookin' at you, MS Excel...).
Are you claiming just using search overwrites playlists? Are you certain you don't hit enter after typing, that would send the results to selected playlist.Thanks for your response. Here are the answers to your post: Yes, I am pressing Enter on the keyboard after typing in the Search criteria. This Zero's out the entire Playlist (which was / is currently selected). CTRL + Z does not undo this action of which I have had success with but under different circumstances. The Playlists are being Saved as I am unable to recover any playlist after the Enter is pressed to invoke such an Action. Had I not done this, it would be hundreds of hours wasted in creating specific playlists.

No one in music sharing cares about lossy formats anymore (and rightfully so). I download FLACs and encode them to my favorite bleeding edge lossy format of choice to save space. And if I were OCD obsessed with archival, I'd just keep my whole library as FLAC because lossy is called lossy for a reason.Additionally, people with a "decent enough" music library and whatnot, tend to put on-the-fly re-encoding to a lossy format in place, such that they don't have to actually manage multiple versions of the same song, etc. Home automation stuff usually takes care of that around the home etc.
