I gave both of these approaches a shot, but alas, no joy. I did like your GUI mod and playlist editor, but they both had issues in my case. I suspect it's a matter of scale as I'm dealing with lots of albums. The problems I encountered in the LMSplaylistEditor were: 1) It wouldn't add a large number of albums to a playlist at a time; and, 2) if added fewer at a time, it wouldn't save the final playlist showing "error saving playlist LP_Rips "error"". Perhaps it's a resource limitation. I also noticed it was throwing in albums in the search results that seemingly had nothing related to the search terms. Finally, the search term strings ignored spaces and case. I use RM as an abbreviation for remastered, so in foobar2000 I can search for the string " RM " with high specificity. But this editor would ignore the spaces and case sensitivity to match album titles with "rm" anywhere in the string pulling in many unwanted titles. I had high hopes for the python script, but after I figured out the syntax, it would only respond "Invalid playlist format (First line: ...". That's irritating since the format is what I want it to fix. I played with BOM and encoding in the foobar playlist file to no avail. Anywho, thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep playing with the editor to see if I can come up with something in time. I'll also see if I can find a plugin for foobar2000 for different export formats. Perhaps that will appease either LMS or the m3u_tool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eCo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114635 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
