You will find a lot of playlists in the .vegastirke folder. (m3u extension)

Just edit those lists. Either with a text editor, or winamp, or whatever.

In CVS, you have the playlists inside the "playlists" folder (inside .vegastrike). In 0.4.3, they're right there inside .vegastrike. (Notice that CVS also has the ones in 0.4.3... but only the planet ones are used, for inflight music, you must edit the ones inside playlists).

It should come with these playlists... but they won't be in any folder.

Look inside your ".vegastrike" folder inside your install directory (i.e. C:\program files\Vegastrike\Vegastrike 0.4.3 in Windows).

Inside there should be a lrge number of files. Most of them should end with a ".m3u" or have a winamp icon. They will be called peace, battle, etc.

One way is to open up Notepad, and then to edit the files, open them with File->Open or drag them into the text box.

If you have Winamp, you can use that to open the playlists. Windows Media player might be able to do it, but you might want to be careful and make backups of all your files if you do it this way.
