Create m3u file for selected audio files

[serendipity]

Here are two scripts:
Script #1 creates a m3u file which has to be stored in the same folder as the audio files.
Script #2 creates a m3u file which can be copied anywhere else.

Script #1 is useful if you carry audio files on USB or move folder/files elsewhere.
Script #2 is useful if you want to store all M3Us in one place.

Script #1:

Code: Select all

/*
Write (Writefile) m3u file based on current selection (getinfo("SelectedItemsNames")). 
<curfolder>=m3u filename is name of the folder. 
o= Older m3u file with same name is overwritten.
*/
  Writefile ("<curfolder>.m3u", getinfo("SelectedItemsNames"), o);

Script #2:

Code: Select all

//For storing m3us other than the folder of audio files
  Writefile ("<curfolder>.m3u", getinfo("SelectedItemsPathNames"), o);

thank you serendipity, i found out that you can also use it to create a movie list quickly, very useful for those segmented youtube videos.

small request

would it be possible after creating the m3u, it would open the playlist automatically in vlc or another player?

thanks
