one m3u for each folder

But here's what i want: any plugin/program that would make a m3u for each folder I have in the c:\mp3\ folder, and storing them in c:\mp3\,

all files in: goes into:
\mp3\acdc\stiff upper lip -> acdc - stiff upper lip.m3u
\mp3\acdc\hells bells -> acdc - hells bells.m3u
\mp3\prodigy -> prodigy.m3u
\mp3 -> rootfiles.m3u (the dir *.mp3 -> rootfiles.m3u, did search!)

that would be the most wanted solution, but I'd like one that make

stiff upper lip.m3u
hells bells.m3u
prodigy.m3u
rootfiles.m3u

plz!

Re: one m3u for each folder

well... How do you all sort your mp3:s then?

I'm looking for winamp/windows-based solutions(or dos, making m3u in the startup) compitable with a character lcd (no cobra or such )

PLAYER.exe

I have created my own frontend that uses MPXplay. I did this because there were no frontends out there that did what I wanted. I believe you may be looking for the same kind of thing.

The way it works is by displaying the songs in a directory type structure, so you list the letter of the artist.

ARTISTS: If you go into R then it displays RADIOHEAD, REM and ROBBIE WILLIAMS (all the artists beginning with R).

ALBUMS: Going into REM displays REVEAL (basically all REM's albums)

You can then list each song and play individually, or play the whole album, play list of albums or play every album in one big playlist.

There are quite a few options at present, such as where the songs starts from (previous position or start), cross fade songs, random play, equalizer display (code written but not selectable as yet) and list options (same as above).

If the frontend is loaded during boot then the songs will continue from where it was last, so it acts like a CD player.

I will put it on the web tonight for others to download, I will put the URL here.

Please post if you are interested in this. Plus any ideas for it.

Re: PLAYER.exe

I was thinking about controlling my player with a numerical keypad, a keyboard w/o the letters...

What I want is some m3umaker.exe that i can put in the autoexec.cfg and then it does all the things as described in the first post

I ran into this same issue. I was trying to use the LCDPlugIn by Marcus Zendher (sp?). I wanted an easy way to create plug-ins in Windows.

I created a command-line driven VB6 program that sweeps the hard drive and creates M3U's in each directory based on the files within that directory. The M3U name is derived from the Folder name that contains the MP3's.

It is working, but I haven't gotten my Carputer quite finished yet, so I haven't tested it completely. If you want, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the "Pre-Beta" copy to experiment with. Just promise not to distribute it yet...

I will be distributing it soon, and will put it all together in a web site based on my carputer project.

See ya!

By the way... My VB6 Program is designed around the following idea for directory structure:

C:\MP3 [root MP3 directory, configurable by a command-line switch]

C:\MP3\Artist - Album -=> Artist - Album.m3u

It doesn't know this:
c:\mp3\Artist\Album... It would create Album.m3u in this format.

See ya!

All my mp3s are not so organized as yours so I'm making a vb program that would understand all the possibilities (Artist - Album, Artisrt\Album, Artist\Artist - Title.mp3, ...) and it's not as easy as it seems.
I did another program that would create playlists in base of the ID3 tag, but then my older mp3s don't have the id3 so my createplaylist.exe creates a just a big mess.
I'll have to organize all my mp3s in directories that have the same naming structure or at least set all the id3 tags.
If anyone has already created something like that it would be great if you upload it somewhere on the net.

Ok I've created a program that should do all the things, if you want it send me a mail. It takes 90kb.
If anyone wants to upload it on the net, cause I dont have a hp.

A great program for mass ID3 tagging, renaming, and general organization tasks is MP3 Tag&Rename. It's available at http://www.softpointer.com

See ya!

You metioned you're using Markus' plugin - have you downloaded the newest version? AlbumList support - no more playlists! Woohoo!

Man, how did you guys get AlbumList working on the plug-in? I see the Album setting in the menu but I don't have any albums listed there.

Should the path for the playlist files be set to the path set in Albumlist?
