Question about Playlists

[justin_looking_glass 37]

I'm working on creating a playlist of "Recommended Movies" and it seems like that's going great.  One snag though, is my new playlist is going to be absolutely lost in a massive sea of what must have been automatically created music playlists.  I've got 225 playlists all in reference to albums.  

So, I want to delete all of those, and just have my recommended movies list.  But, if I try to delete the playlist, I get a warning which makes me think it will delete my music itself.  This is the warning:

 

Delete Item

Deleting this item will delete it from both the file system and your media library.

 

The following files and folders will be deleted:

/mnt/Music/Heres Little Richard/Heres_Little_Richard_-_Heres_Little_Richard_and_Little_Richard-FLAC-1957-OBSERVER/00_014.Heres_Little_Richard_-_Heres_Little_Richard_and_Little_Richard-FLAC-1957-OBSERVER.m3u

 

Are you sure you wish to continue?


So, what should I do?

Hey all, just in case anyone else has this same question:

I decided to delete one playlist and then see if I could still play the associated album.  I can, so unless there's a delay in the processing before this gets deleted, then it seems like I can delete the playlist and not the media, despite the warning which seems to say otherwise.

Hi, the m3u is the playlist file so that's why that dialog said that. Does that answer your question?

[justin_looking_glass 37]

OOOOOOOOOOH.  Yes, that makes total and complete sense!  Also, can I say, I'm so happy to see you post so often answering questions like mine.  It's a far cry from what I'd see in the Plex forums all the time from their guys, who on two different occasions I watched as they got into a flame war with end users.

Thanks for the feedback.
