Playlists were saving fine then they stopped saving.
Checked folder permissions and they hadn't changed.
Tried a few other things and they still wouldn't save.
Uninstalled and reinstalled and they started saving again.
Today they stopped saving again. I can't even overwrite the one I made yesterday.
Before I reinstall again and lose the playlist I created, any thoughts?

I'm suggesting an update or any other system changes may have stopped you being able to save playlists. I assume you are running Windows 10, check what updates has been installed recently, it HAS to be a system issue, as they used to work ok before.
Here are some suggestions of what to look for, not proven answers, as i have never had the issue you are experiencing.
Have you changed the DEFAULT saving location ??

Tried the 3 links you suggested and the settings suggested in the first 2 were already set that way.
The suggestions in the third link I already verified.
The default save location did not change.
I'm going to try another reinstall.
Thanks for your help.

It's a strange one, before you do a reinstall, delete the 4 .db files from located in C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\TouchJams\db
NOTE This will remove all your settings ect.
You can also copy and save your PLAYLISTS from C:\ProgramData\TouchJams\Playlist to a safe place and try them later with a NEW, CLEAN install.

I think I found the problem.
I saved a new playlist incrementally about 12 songs at a time.
Eventually it stopped saving.
I let the playlist play and it eventually stopped playing.
I tried to reload the song it stopped on with play now rather than play.
When I hit play now it gave me a sound error, but not when I hit play.
I continued this until I identified all the bad MP3 files.
Once I deleted those songs from the playlist it saved like a champ.
Apparently hitting play does not verify the song file is not defective but hitting play now does/will.
And I guess you cannot save a playlist with a bad audio file. Lesson learned.
