Should be easy? Nex II MP3 player playlist copying extension?

MatNeh · 16th September 2002, 19:27

Hi folks,

This should be easy to do, maybe in Wasabi, so I'm hoping someone can get me started.

I want an extension that will take the files in the current playlist and copy them to another directory (in the same order as displayed in the playlist). Simple as that.

Background:
The Nex II MP3 player is a great piece of equipment, but it does not have playlist support. However, if you copy the files to the Nex II in a certain order, they will play in that order. It seems like it would be easy as pie to add an extension to Winamp to read the current playlist and copy the files to the Nex II in the order they're shown.

Can this be done easily? If someone gets me going in the right direction, I can take it from there, unless you're itching to write it yourself!

Thanks,
Matt

I don't know how to do this with Winamp3 but with Winamp 2.x it is very simple. Just send IPC_GETPLAYLISTFILE to get each and every file's name by its position in the playlist. Use IPC_GETLISTLENGTH to get the length of the playlist. Those two messages are defined in the General SDK header file, but probably in other Winamp 2.x SDKs too.
