While I haven't been in the SqueezeCenter world very long, I have been
doing my best to catch up. After having a great experience with my
first Duet purchase, I've since gone on to buy three more receivers and
another controller.

After getting so much great advice and help on these forums, I thought
I'd say 'thanks' by giving back something.

Playlist Butler is a Windows app that you run on your SqueezeCenter
machine and once setup correctly, it will monitor your playlists
directory for new or modified playlists -- playlists you've presumably
saved or exported from your favorite desktop music player/manager. (In
my case, this is J River Media Center)

When it finds a new or changed playlist, Playlist Butler will open the
playlist and perform any path substitution you specify and update the
playlist file. (In my case, this transforms paths from ones that the
desktop machine understands, to paths that SqueezeCenter understands)

And finally, you can set up a 'dummy' playlist name that when saved to
the playlist directory, will cause Playlist Butler to trigger a
SqueezeCenter new Music Scan.

This way, I can save a bunch of playlists from my desktop and trigger a
SqueezeCenter rescan... all from within Media Center (or whatever
favorite app you have).

Should you decide to try it out, please let me know what you think. all
suggestions for improvement are welcome too.

Thanks,

Jonathan
