AutoPlay 1.40 deletes my MP3s

**Stine161** · 04-11-2003, 06:04 PM

Well upgraded to autoplay 1,40 went can configured the ini and ran the playlist proggie, set my MP3 path to c:\mp3 and my playlist path to c:\mp3 when I click the button I get an error saying there was no mp3s in the folder, so I opended up my mp3 folder and low and behold nothing was in there! It deleted all my MP3s!

Damn, looks like a gots lots a ripping to do

noooo!!!

the playlist path CANNOT be the mp3 path..... i need to make that clearer..... cause whenever you run playlistbuild, it empties the playlists folder, ready for the re-generation of new ones....

doh!

This sounds to me like DELETE *.* (very rude) when DELETE *.whateveryourplaylistextensionis would be sufficient ...

true, but it needs to delete subfolders too..... making that a big hard to manage....

"use at your own risk" i have quoted on my website...

sorry Stine161

well maybe now is a good time to use EAC and LAME 3.92 to rip your collection if your using a lesser ripper/encoder at present...

ah no biggie only lost a total of 100 songs or so...
when I get around to it I will make some more skinz and what not see what I can tinker with

Well magnetik, I have a simple solution to the problem. Make it physically unable in the program to set their playlist directory to their mp3 directory or any subfolders.

Thank god this didn't happen to me

25 Gigs of MP3s....

LOTS OF THANX MAGNETIK

40 gigs MP3 DELETED !!!!!!

**felix99** · 04-12-2003, 05:07 AM

hi magnetik ,

no don't panic - didn t got any mp3 deleted

for a solution could you make it such that it only deletes files with a specific ending ? like *.m3u ? so that it leaves mp3's untouched even if someone does the fault and lets build playlists in mp3 directory ?
