REQ: Playlist Editor

[Donald Bock]

Hi all:

Needed: A playlist editor which reads the full mp3 music filename in a
directory and makes a list compatible with Realplayer or Windows Media
Player.

It seems the ID tag info in the files I have is messed up and I'll be
damned if I'm going to rekey all that ID Tag crap.

Thanks, Donald

Hello,

in a directory and makes a list compatible with Realplayer or
Windows Media Player.

a good playlist format for you may be .m3u, which is basically a
text file with relative or absolute references to files (if in
the same directory, just the filenames are enough).

I wrote a little tool that creates .m3u for each dropped
directory (and recursively each directory inside). Both players
you mentioned are able to play this .m3u playlists. They don't
include any tag based meta information. See here:

Your messed tags should be no reason, why you're not able to
create playlists the usual way, lioke you did before. Can you
tell a bit more, what's your problem with that?

Regards,
Thorsten

With mp3tag from http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html you can update your
ID tags with info from the filename. Select all files (CTRL+A), read
info from filename (ALT-2) and specify the needed ID tags.

I did this:

I did as above, but I note in PREVIEW the MP3 extension is gone.

I have in Tag Editor Panel:
Title: Keep
Artist: Keep
Album: Keep
Year: Keep Track: Keep Genre: Keep

Thanks for Help, Donald

I use RealPlayer10. The Now Playing List gets my media files (mp3)from
Add Clips button (shows chopped filename)! RealPlayer 10 chops filenames in
playlists...Piece of Sh*t.

Try this and give me comments as required.
Oh well.

Using Alt+2 retrieves ID tag info from the filename so I don't
understand what you mean by 'the MP3 extension is gone'. Alt+2 doesn't
change the filename, only the tags.

OK, thanks. As I said, in the PREVIEW function of mp3tag, it shows the
file: c:\<filename>.mp3 to c:\<filename>

Other than this, the program works well. THANKS.
