Hi.

I've tried many playlist generators, but none of them let me perform
the following...

I have several folders containing MP3's, sometimes on different drives.

For bands with a single album, I use the following folder structure:

Alien Ant Farm - Up in the Attic
Blue October - Foiled
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Rufus Wainwright - Want One
....

For bands with numerous albums, I use the following folder structure:

Eros Ramazzotti
Calma apparente
Stilelibero

Pink Floyd
Astronomy Domine
The Wall
Wish You Were Here
....


In the first structure, if first the band name is prefixed with "-",
then the album must be excluded. So M3U generated.

In the second structure, if the band name is prefixed by "-", then the
whole structure must be excluded. If only one album (subdir) is
preceded by "-", then only that album must be excluded.

I know I could use the first structure for everything, as follows...

Alien Ant Farm - Up in the Attic
Blue October - Foiled
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Rufus Wainwright - Want One
Eros Ramazzotti - Calma apparente
Eros Ramazzotti - Stilelibero
Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

But there would be repetitions in the band names. Which I find nagging.


The end result should be one M3U playlist per album (except the "-"
ones), all put in a single directory.

So I need a program thout would either (a) scan each folder in the
structure and generate an M3U there; or create a master list
(folder-transient) of all MP3's, and generate M3U's out of the correct
entries.


Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks!
