I haven't been using the favorite songs folders as described in BiaB, but thought I should investigate and probably set some up. I appear to be able to set any folder up as a favorites location and open files from it. So far so good.

However, if I try to open files via, e.g., Files->"Open Special"->"Open Favorite Songs", the dialog is empty unless I use either the [append] or [Add Fav] buttons to add them to a set list, so I'm really rather puzzled by what is, or is not, a "favorites folder". It appears to me that the above dialog is "set list(s)", not Favorite Songs.

I tried numerous question of ChatPG, which seemed rather to circumvent my questions, but eventually, in andswer to the following question: If the songs in the "Favorite Songs Folder" do not appear in the "Favorite Songs" dialog, why is the dialog called "Favorite Songs"?"
came up with:

### Conclusion

The "Favorite Songs" dialog serves as a quick access point for songs users have marked as favorites or frequently played, which does not necessarily correlate with all songs in the "Favorite Songs Folder." Users are encouraged to manage their favorites actively and utilize the dialog's features, such as rebuilding the song list, to ensure their selections are up to date.

OK, I think I may now understand how it works, by why so perverse?

Hmm ... I guess that's rhetorical. smile
