Playlist for Quicktime 6.5 ???

Hi

I use Windows XP Pro, and Quicktime 6.5 . I think quicktime is great, but its lacking some important KEY features. Where is the playlist?

I know about the favourite list, but that's not the same, cause it requires manually switching. I got several movies in parts, and would like to view them all continousaly, without having to click and open the next part all the time.

Apple are supposed to be Microsofts biggets treats, and are known for good service, good products, and stabile OS in comparistion to Microsoft who fails most of it.
Still Microsoft Mediaplayer is more user friendly. It got a playlist, so I can add all parts and view it continousaly there. But it doesn't play .mov files. So I can not do the same with my split .mov files as they have to be viewed in QuickTime, who does not got a playlist for unknown reasons.

Is there a add-on for Windows XP, which I can use to get a playlist? And are Apple planning to implement such handy tool in the future? I'm quite surprised that they havent already implemented it. I read the presentation of Quicktime 7.0, but there was no playlist mentioned in the features. WHY???

All I want is a quicktime where I can add files to be played, as a playlist. Im not talking about merging movies. I would still like to see which movieparts are added to the list, and the order.

I have tried to add those parts into one quitcktime window, but it doesn't get the right order. I have tried and watched so I know that it mixes up the parts 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 of that movie. It doesnt list the part names either, so I can not correct the order of which they are played.

THATS WHY A PLAYLIST WOULD BE VERY VERY USEFUL. I'm trying to make a point here, because I should not be the first to tell Apple about this. But if I am, then I apologize for my language. At least Apple should be aware of this now, and do their best to add a playlist in the future.

I have also read about the streaming servers, but thats for use over internet it says. Not for local use on my harddrive.

Because if Apple want to be the best, they should also have the most userfriendly software. They would not want people to manually change the files all the time.

I've read about some add-on for Mac users, where you can add and queque files for quicktime to play. Sounds like a playlist. But did not find any add-on for Windows XP who does the trick.

I hope you can supply me with information about how I can get a real working playlist in my quicktime, cause its quite annoying to change file manually, when all I want to do is watch the movies continuously.

Thanks in advance.

As you have discovered, QuickTime Player has no playlist feature. If you want suggest one to Apple, you can do so through the feedback page. Keep in mind that QuickTime for Windows is a free product, so it's not going to get the same sort of development resources as would a product for which you have to pay (and you pay for Windows Media Player as part of the cost of Windows XP).

As to an immediate solution, there are QuickTime-compatible players for Macs that have playlist features, so perhaps you can find one for Windows. Try searching VersionTracker for "QuickTime" and perhaps you'll find something.

Good luck.
