I have some massive playlists (100+ files) that I would like to reverse the order on, ie, what is now mp3 #1 will become the last one played. The playlists are in pls form and are in absolute format. Any suggestions on something that wil do this function (preferably freeware)?

Wouldn't that be easier to do in your media player? You could sort them with any method you chose.

I'm using a Logitech Squeezebox 3 connected to my home stereo and I can't find any way to reverse the playlist in that software. Are you aware of any player list that will reverse it-perhaps that would also alos me to save the new playlist.

Foobar2000 can do this. Add the playlist, Ctrl-A to select all, right-click and choose Sort-> Reverse. However, Foobar can't output the PLS format, so if the Squeezebox can't handle M3U you would need a way to square that circle. Foobar's default behavior for M3U is to save in relative format, although there's probably a way to change that.

Incidentally, my main playlist is about 8,500 items. Adding it to Foobar takes a moment, but reversing it is basically instantaneous.
