Re: AutoPlay 1.40 deletes my MP3s

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...

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.

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 ?

ill implement a workable solution guys..... most likely based on frodobaggins idea of the subfolder checking....

please be mindful ppl, that I dont make any money from this and have no obligation to ensure the quality of the product in anyway. just to re-confim, and as stated on my website from day one it is "use at own risk"......

not trying to sound like a prick, but at the same time I dont want to be a whipping boy for this one.... and hopefully (!) the bulk of ppl here can see things from that point of view.

Sorry if this did I know this is all on yer own time and thanks! Nice Proggie for the car use, All I wanted to do is point out a bug and look like its going to go a little too far....

Read the topic people "my bad" yeah that mean it was my fault because my mp4s got deleted not MAGs! Dont mock or put down a program just beacuse of a simple bug....


Please if an admin sees this thread close it before it get outta hand!

Don't feel bad magnetik. I would be ****ed too if mine were deleted. But in the end it would be my own fault.

But a fix would be nice.


And for those that are testing, using Autoplay, or any other software for that matter:

Always test stuff on a copy or subset of your stuff! I test autoplay with each new release before I tell it where my MP3s are !!!

Also, in regards to my suggestion for a fix.
A blatent, visible warning should be given to put nothing else in the playlist folder, and tell them not to choose other folders with **** in it.
