I use Playlist Manager to manage adding songs to particular playlists. For my use-case, the destination folder could be one static folder and I'd imagine it would be a copy based upon the addition to a specific playlist that exists for this purpose. There would be no need to duplicate a directory tree. Simply dumping a copy of the file into a flat directory would be just fine. Immediately would be ideal, but periodically might work. LMS is currently running on Windows 10. I'm going to look at that scripting plugin.

The how often question is valid. It's more like I want a directory of files I could drag and drop to a CDr. It's not exactly that, but that description illustrates the desired result. I use Playlist Manager. I could have a playlist for this purpose. Scripting the copying of files added to that playlist, to a specified directory, would be perfect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111132 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
