sc_trans and spaces

trainwrek · 5th December 2003, 22:08

Does anyone know how to deal with spaces in your filenames when putting together a playlist for sc_trans? I'm using the mac os version.

I would also like to know how to deal with a space in the path to the config file.

Thanks,
Paul

I don't use sc_trans, but I would guess maybe to change your file names? I'm sure there's a more effective way to do something, but that would be my suggestion.

I am really trying to avoid that as it would mean having rebuild my iTunes database. We are talking about 25 gigs worth of files.

Does %20 in place of the spaces work?

(the above is a complete guess and may be garbage)

i believe that spaces will work fine in song file names, at least it does in the linux version.

Bsd / Linux versions are worink fine with it
the sc_trans option:
find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist_filename.lst

or in a bash script
ls /mp3/* > /location of /sc_trans/play.lst
ls /mp3/ > /location of webpage/play.lst
killall -USR1 sc_trans

i think MAC uses the a siular kind..

# for i in *.mp3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`; done

run this in the dir that the mp3s are in and it will replace white spaces with underscores
