Re: Script to create M3U playlists for each folder in MyDocs/.sounds
 
All my music is on my 16 Gb SD card and it plays fine from there on my N900.
Question, all my songs are in m4a format so does m3u support this format.. thanks. I do not want to use mp3 going forward as well.

I've created this script that makes a playlist for each folder in your music. This lets you play a folder at a time with the default media player.

Code:
cd ~/MyDocs/.sounds
for i in *; do
  echo Processing $i
  if [ -d "$i" ]; then
    find "$i/" -type f -iname "*.mp3" > "$i.m3u"
  fi
done
The following also addresses date ordering.

If the playlist is in the same directory as the audio files, no path information is needed in the playlist. This also makes it easy to move directories around on a device or between devices.

Code:
cd  $1
for i in *; do
  echo Processing $i
  if [ -d "$i" ]; then
    cd $i
    ls "*.mp3" "*.ogg" "*.wma" > "$i.m3u"
    cd ..
  fi
done
To sort by date:

Code:
cd  $1
for i in *; do
  echo Processing $i
  if [ -d "$i" ]; then
    cd $i
    ls -rt "*.mp3" "*.ogg" "*.wma" > "$i.m3u"
    cd ..
  fi
done

M3U playlists should support any file - I think even videos. Just change the find line to:
Code:
find "$i/" -type f -iname "*.m4a" > "$i.m3u"

j.s, that's a great idea using ls instead of find. I keep most of my music in an Arist/Album/Track structure so it woudn't work so well some of the time. I'm experimenting with ls -R (recursive) but it's not getting the whole path.

  1. Save the script at the top of this thread as a file as /home/user/make-playlists.sh
  2. Install Queen Beecon Widget
  3. Add the Queen Beecon widget to your desktop
  4. Configure it and add /home/user/make-playlists.sh as a customnew command
