Hi to all,
not sure whether I'm in the right place here - and as the thread is already from 2018, there might be a (better) solution for playlist handling as mentioned before. So, if anyone knows ... please point me to the right place (thank you in advance!).
Problem Description:
M3U playlists.
In my understanding the m3u playlist e.g of an album belongs into the same place as were the music files exists. And a lot of music collectors are organizing there x*1000 music files into folders, e.g. <category>/<first character>/<artist>/<album>/files 1 ..n
Tagging-Software like puddletag or mp3tag can write typically a m3u file which contains beside some # data a list of music files to be played exactly in this sequence.
It is quite cumbersome, if we attach via SMB a big NAS structure with 100reds of LPs/CDs - each of them with a local album related m3u - and as a user to be force to copy them over to /var/lib/mpd/playlists to be a file like 'Artist_Album.m3u'.
It will be more convenient to re-use the existing m3u file. Either to display this in the filemode and in case of selection queue this in (or add an entry in the library selector to show (and use) the local m3u files... or copy/refresh them into the /var/lib/mpd/playlists by a requested re-scan. With the danger that with a huge NAS the SD card might get an overflow ;-(.
What do you think?
I may post this also as a feature request later.
Otherwise - I was very happy that moode was so easy to setup - in contradiction to other mediaplayers. Great work so far.
