Hi there, i'm working on a small program which hopefully others might want to try. It's a playlist creator. The thing i'm trying to make is a program where you can add songs, and to create a nice playlist for maybe a party or something.
But i have no real name for it and no icon. Open to suggestions and nice icons.
It can delete files and add drawers or single files atm. And save playlist that works with Amigaamp.
First I thought you wanted such a program and I would have answered MultiRen since I find it optimal for playlist creation. But a name for a dedicated such tool..: "Play List" ? :)
Software developer for Amiga OS3 and OS4. Develops for OnyxSoft and the Amiga using E and C and occasionally C++
>There's way to many programs/tools named after what they do already.
Functional names (eg. Report+, Multi-game Character Editor, AmiArcadia) are more informative than meaningless pretentious names such as Cucumber or Onion, it also makes Aminet searches more convenient. For this program, I would suggest PlaylistCreator.
However, it would be great to be able to sort and select MP3 songs via MP3Tags (Genre, Author, Album...), this makes it easier to crate a playlist. E.g. for Genre "Heavy Metal", or make a playlist of all your "Iron Maiden" songs sitting on your Harddisk.
Please excuse my ignorance (and that's before I speak).
Is this a .m3u file creator. When I rip an audiobook to mp3 using ADRipper it creates such a file, but if there is a problem such as a disk read error, or the A1 freezes, then the .m3u file is only from that point onwards. If this could create .m3u files for a directory of .mp3 files this would be very useful to me.
Anyway PlayListCreator is fine, or m3uCreator, (If that is what it does) would also be a good name.
@Antique @Swoop having Playlists is always a problem: E.g. your "small program without a name" saves you a #?.pls Playlist (just paths and filname to your song), once your transfer the songs to e.g. HTC mobile phone with windows 6.5 mobile (or whatever), your pathes have to change, you also need a #?.m3u format, plus the structure of your mp3 folders+subfolders will probably different as well, compared to your Amiga. Here the solution is:
use list command from shell in order to write directory contents to ram:playlist.pls. Load this list inside Playlistconverter and converte it to m3u. You may also want to change filpaths and convert to "window compatible" format as well...
