another "does this exist" question re: playlists

Sonicxtacy02 · 08-10-2005, 01:55 PM

Is there any plugin or standalone program that can automatically add songs to a playlist? Basically i wanna be able to burn a cd to the drive and have this program detect the new songs and auto-add them to a preselected .m3u file. I asked this in another thread but i thought id' start a new one cause i'm sure i'm not the only one that would use somethin like this. Show me what you got.

if you copy the songs from a cd to a folder (for example, c:\music) and want to add it to an existing m3u (c:\music\songs.m3u) then create a file called update.bat and insert this code:

Quote:

dir c:\music\*.mp3 /b /s > c:\music\songs.m3u

Then just run it after you copy.

that seems like a pretty good idea... but wouldnt that require me to edit the batch each time i did a new cd. The way i rip goes from cd to /my music/artist/album/song.mp3.

As long as everything lands in /my music/ then just put that as the path in the batch file. The /s switch on the dir spans all folders, so it'll pick up the new folder.
