It works on a drag and drop basis also. In other words you get one playlist containing all tracks in the whole folder tree. This is nice for making a playlist for an entire genre or all the works of a given artist, when they are spread over multiple folders. If you'd like a script that generates a separate playlist for each folder in one fell swoop (as opposed to dragging folders onto the script individually) you'll have to give me a few minutes. =) You can sort of do this already with rockbox, in the sense that when you "play" a folder (or play the first track inside the folder) it generates a playlist for everything in that folder. That's how I typically play an album. If you'd prefer to collect all such playlist in a single genre-specific folder then scripting *can* do it quickly - certainly faster than manual operations in winamp. If you've got a well-tagged collection, you can also generate all kinds of playlists - sorted by artist/album/genre/year/etc. per your specifications - using the ID3Browse program. This gives you a sorted Ipod-like browsable collection of playlists. http://shanebrinkmandavis.com/homepage/ID3Browse/ If you've got missing tags, spelling variations, or other oddities, you'll probably prefer the scripting solution. _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-04-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
