How about this as a suggestion. With an option - "Enable Virtual Tracks" enabled. Playlists in the playlist folder are treated as normal.
Playlists within the music folder (in an album dir) as treated as virtual tracks for that album. Comments could be added into the m3u file to override the information inherited from the tags in the real file. Default behaviour is to inherit all info from the real file. e.g. I have a Massive Attack album. I also have several Chill Out compilations with Massive Attack tracks. I create a playlist in the ChillOut Album dir. #EXTM3U #<SD_VIR_TRACK> #TRACKNO=1 #ALBUM=Chill Out Volume 1 #YEAR=INHERIT #</SD_VIR_TRACK> \Documents and Settings\Michael\My Documents\My Music\MP3\Massive Attack\Protection\04 Weather Storm.mp3 #<SD_VIR_TRACK> #TRACKNO=6 #ALBUM=Chill Out Volume 1 #YEAR=INHERIT #</SD_VIR_TRACK> \Documents and Settings\Michael\My Documents\My Music\MP3\Massive Attack\Protection\05 Spying Glass.mp3 In this case the Album name and track position are being overridden. The year is being inherited from the year of the Massive Attack album, not the compilation, but this the defaul behaviour anyway. The comment tag format would have to be documented. It could also be optimized to make it easier to parse. Feedback? Should I log an enhancement request? -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18003 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
