Maybe try Kid3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah. Maybe. Installing. (A search for "playlist" in YaST found a bunch of libraries and plugins, but I could not see a program to generate them) Mmm, at starts, kid3 reports a bug: there are two actions (Replace, Reload) that want to use the same shortcut (Ctrl+R). It does so many things that it is complex to use. I then try the cli version, but it is not a command line, but instead enters a "session" in text mode. I have this structure in the usb stick: 2015-11 Jazz Classic Piano ... If I start kid3-cli in the root of the stick, I can not get it to list the directory structure: cer@Telcontar:/media/EMTEC C410> kid3-cli kid3-cli> ls 2015-11 kid3-cli> ls 2015-11 2015-11 kid3-cli> ls 2015-11/ 2015-11 kid3-cli> pwd /media/EMTEC C410 kid3-cli> It does not see the contents of the directory. The KDE GUI version fails to load the help file, says it does not exist, but this happens to all KDE programs, no surprise. Had this problem for decades :-/ Trying, from an example in man page: cer@Telcontar:/media/EMTEC C410> time kid3-cli -c "timeout off" -c autoimport -c playlist 2015-11/Café\ de\ Paris/*aac Problem: it writes the file to the last directory, the directory where the aac files are. Of course, I want them at the root of the USB stick, where my car audio system looks for it. Googling for "kid3-cli examples" finds me <https://kid3.sourceforge.io/kid3_en.html#kid3-cli-examples>, which are the same as in the manual, and thus far from sufficient. Some discouraging info: <https://kid3.sourceforge.io/kid3_en.html#create-playlist> +++....................... The location of the generated playlist is determined by the selection of the Create in combo box. Current directory The playlist is created in the current directory and contains only files of the current directory. The current directory is the directory where the current file is located. If multiple files are selected, the current file is probably the last selected file. Every directory A playlist is created in every directory which contains listed files, and each playlist contains the files of that directory. Top-level directory Only one playlist is created in the top-level directory (i.e. the directory of the file list) and it contains the listed files of the top-level directory and all of its sub-directories. .......................++- Clear as mud. It appears I can not tell it the specific directory to create the list in, with filenames relative to it :-/ Googling again. "how to create playlists in linux" Finds this at <https://itsfoss.com/create-m3u-playlist-linux/>: ls -1v |grep .mkv > /tmp/1.m3u && mv /tmp/1.m3u . Just that? This is wonderful. Of course, tag info is missing, I thought that was mandatory in the list format. I only have to script a bit to produce a combined list. Just wonderful! - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Jep. The "extended info" may or may not be there and may or may not be used by the player (software). You could add that by piping the filenames into a script running mediainfo --Inform=... See mediainfo --Info-Parameters. You might want to start with: ==== find2m3u.sh ==== #!/bin/bash EXTINF='%Duration/String3%/ %Genre% - %Album/Performer% - %Album% - %Title% -- %Codec%/%BitRate/String%' # you could use e.g. %FolderName%\%FileName%.%FileExtension% too do_info() { f="$1" # mediainfo --Inform="General;#EXTINF:${EXTINF}\n%CompleteName%" "$f" mediainfo --Inform="General;#EXTINF:${EXTINF}" "$f" # [ do something to $f ] printf '%s\n' "$f" } for file; do do_info "$file" done while read -r file; do do_info "$file" done ==== find ... | find2m3u.sh For more control, I recommend using a perl-script with 'use File::Find;' and 'use MediaInfo;' (from package perl-Mediainfo). The File::Find module gives you very fine grained control over how to find files (start with 'find2perl'!) and Mediainfo gives you easy access to the metainfo that Mediainfo can read. See 'man 3pm Mediainfo'. Alternatively, you could use Exiftool instead of Mediainfo. See 'man Image::ExifTool'.
Although... I think I have to search and replace all "/" with "\".

Ah. Interesting!
For more control, I recommend using a perl-script with 'use File::Find;' and 'use MediaInfo;' (from package perl-Mediainfo). The File::Find module gives you very fine grained control over how to find files (start with 'find2perl'!) and Mediainfo gives you easy access to the metainfo that Mediainfo can read. See 'man 3pm Mediainfo'.
I would have to learn perl first
Alternatively, you could use Exiftool instead of Mediainfo. See 'man Image::ExifTool'.

I used the editor :-) In fact, what I do is that, having a directory per genre, I generate the play list taking one file from each directory in rotation. I wrote a script for that, and having a single line source play list (per directory) makes things easier. #!/bin/bash declare -a ENTRADAS_1 SALIDATMP=/tmp/2015-11.m3u SALIDA=2015-11.m3u COUNT=1 while read FILES ; do ENTRADAS_1[$COUNT]="$FILES" COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1` done < Genre_1.m3u COUNT_1=$COUNT echo ${ENTRADAS_1[1]} COUNT=`expr $COUNT - 1` echo ${ENTRADAS_1[$COUNT]} COUNT=1 while read FILES ; do ENTRADAS_2[$COUNT]="$FILES" COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1` done < Genre_1.m3u COUNT_2=$COUNT echo ${ENTRADAS_2[1]} COUNT=`expr $COUNT - 1` echo ${ENTRADAS_2[$COUNT]} ... # 11 genres echo "read" echo > $SALIDATMP for((i=1; i<=2000;i++)) do if [ $i -le $COUNT_1 ]; then echo ${ENTRADAS_1[$i]} >> $SALIDATMP fi if [ $i -le $COUNT_2 ]; then echo ${ENTRADAS_2[$i]} >> $SALIDATMP fi ... if [ $i -le $COUNT_10 ]; then echo ${ENTRADAS_10[$i]} >> $SALIDATMP fi done echo "coyping to stick" cp $SALIDATMP $SALIDA (sure, functions would be appropriate, but I did not bother for a one_shot) Generating or handling the information line is a complication I do not like. If my car needs it, I will go back to the chair and do something about it, using your samples, so thanks :-) Mmm... Not that complicated, though. As I write each line, first obtain its info line and print it :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
