MP3 Playlists & my sanity
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2019 9:49 am
This post has nothing to do with MX, sorry.
This post is purely about my sanity.
Here's the first few lines of a playlist generated by the utility FAPG that my Sandisk mp3 player refuses to accept. In fact, it is adamant that the playlist is "empty":
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:291,0Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
00Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water.mp3
#EXTINF:185,1The Sound of Silence Original Version from 1964.mp3
01The Sound of Silence Original Version from 1964.mp3
Here's a playlist that this stupid Sandisk mp3 player is happy use:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:245,Pink Floyd - Speak To Me/Breathe
01 Speak to Me-Breathe.mp3
#EXTINF:213,Pink Floyd - On The Run
02 On the Run.mp3
Obviously they are both in files with an "m3u" extension. They are both owned by me and with 777 permissions and located in the same sub-dir's as the actual music they relate to.
I have tried building playlists using other methods, i've found none that work. I've even read the mp3 playlist format documents. ME! The original RTFM guy.
Sandisk say it works with playlists produced by Windows (is it called "media player"?).
But please, what's the *Borising Brexit* DIFFERENCE?
One other insanity, when i do the command(S) below they ONLY find the m3u file in main (root) dir
- i.e. not the one's in any of the sub-dirs - inc the Pink dir!
I can't see this being related to the playlist issue but it is to my sanity.
ls -lR *.m3u
dir -lR *.m3u
