Well I do know what you're talking about, but I'm afraid that there's no facility on either Audition 3 or any later versions to save playlists at all. At one stage, the playlist feature was dropped altogether because Adobe could find no evidence that anybody was using it. This caused some anguish to the people who actually were using it (Adobe didn't look hard enough) and so it was reinstated. But it was only ever intended to be a live playout tool - the sort of thing radio stations might use. That said, I can't see any good reason for not being able to store lists, and I can also see good reasons for why you might want to in some circumstances. But as it is, I'm afraid you can't save the list at all.

Thanks Steve. You completely understand my question indeed.

Change my request as below, I got two session audio files. Can I combine them into a single audio file but with repeat broadcast one or both session files.

e.g two audio session files, namely file 1 and file 2.

The Combined file is: file 1 broadcast two times and file 2 broadcast 3 times。

Yes there is a way of doing that, but you can't do it by concatenating sessions - which seems like the obvious way, I must admit. What works is to open both sessions and group all the files you want to copy. In the second session, copy the group you made and paste the result wherever you want it in the first session. This will leave the tracks in the same layout, and you just play the result.

 

What would be much easier would be to mix down both sessions and use Open Append on the resultant files in Waveform view. You just end up with one file, and you can save that if you want to, obviously. Doing it with session files, whilst possible, is messier because to play safe, you have to leave copies of half of the files in two places (the first session folder, if this is the one you paste to). The session method does work though - I tried it to make sure!

Not exactly sure what you are asking but maybe try exporting your session as a template?
