I have a DOS utility that will read in a list one line at a time and output
it to a batch file according to command line switches. I used to use it
when running a landline bbs. It is quick, neat, and creates a batch file
that can be called from within the primary batch file then deleted. It could
automate the whole thing for you.
Sample usage:
listmod COPY $1 E:\ MP3LIST.M3U tmp.bat
call tmp.bat
Each pathname in MP3LIST.M3U would be copied to tmp.bat with the format
COPY pathname E:\
It would allow you to copy the contents of any list to your cf card.
Let me know if you would like a copy.
Mike

Subject: OT: My challenge copying files
I wonder if anyone on the list familiar with Windows and coding might have
some suggestions for me.
I�m trying to figure out how to take an MP3 M3U playlist file, and get
windows to copy each file in it to this CF/microdrive in the same order they
appear in the M3U file.
The M3u is just an acsii text file with the path to each file on separate
lines. I could get WordBasic to write a DOS batch file that would do it.
But then there�s the minor problem of Windows DOS not dealing with long file
names very well.
The deal is that this NEX II MP3 player doesn�t support M3U playlist files.
But it will play files in the order that they were written to the CF card
(something about the way the files appear in the FAT).
So for the moment, I�ve been copying files one by one in order to create
virtual play lists. But it sure would be really convenient to be able to
run a little program to copy files from the L70 HDD to the microdrive from
an M3U file.
Any ideas from our extensively trained and experienced group of
Librettorati? (Gosh I like that term... Wasn�t that from Fran? Where�s
she been these days?)
Matt
