- Livin - 2005-10-10 i have been playing around with m3u lists recently. my goal is to build them on the pc (which is much easier) and then use them on the pc & xbmc at the same time. here's how you do it... a) create your playlist using a standard m3u builder (most apps) b)edit the m3u with a text editor to remove any pathing specific to your pc... example: c:\music\no doubt\singles 1993-2003\no doubt - spiderwebs.mp3 turns into this... no doubt\singles 1993-2003\no doubt - spiderwebs.mp3 notice there is nothing before the album folder (or however you store your music files) you can easily do a 'replace' function and replace (in example above) "c:\music\" with nothing (i.e. leave blank / delete any characters) c) then save the m3u d) place the m3u in your main music folder where xbmc looks for the files. *done* now, xbmc will see the playlists and play them. your pc will also play the songs using the same list. enjoy! - jsd - 2005-10-12 if you use winamp on a pc and build all your playlists relative to a common folder, it automatically strips all the leading path info. just a little timesaving tip. - Solo0815 - 2005-10-12 Quote:if you use winamp on a pc and build all your playlists relative to a common folder, it automatically strips all the leading path info.how can i save only the relative path? i canĀ“t find any such option! |
