Hi All, I'm trying to create a playlist from a very large audio catalogue that captures my best (audiophile) recordings.
In foobar2000, this is straightforward as I can create a boolean expression with all terms I typically include in the albums' titles, such as "Remaster", "180g LP Rip", "SACD", "MFSL", and so on; and importantly, there are no duplicates. Unfortunately, when I try to import the Foobar playlist into LSM, all the entries with special characters (non-ASCII 128 thru 255) are missing - either individual songs or entire albums from, for example, the artist Amon Düül II. Saving a playlist with these same sources works fine when created within LSM. If I use the LMS advanced search tool, I can build the playlist within LMS in a reasonable time entering the terms mentioned above one-at-a-time. But then I end up with a large number of duplicate entries since there's considerable overlap between the searches. This makes the playlist unnecessarily large, and the duplicated albums (sometimes three & four times) would be played back too frequently. The "Audiophile.m3u" playlist I built within LMS including duplicates is > 9 MB with about 84,300 lines. I've tried to find & delete duplicates using two word processing tricks I've found and both failed - presumably because the file is too large (regex in Notepad++, and an MSWord VB macro). I've been working on this issue off and on for weeks and am still stymied as to how to get a nice, clean file that can be easily updated as I continue to grow my collection. Any new ideas would be most welcome eCo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eCo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114635
