Pl2lst

[thinktink]

I just wrote this itty bitty little program to convert m3u and pls playlists into playlist files a bit more native to sc_trans. It strips the metada (actually, it just parses out and grabs the file names) and then attempts to convert any relative file names into absolute path file names.

Made this in under 30 minutes.

I found it useful so I thought someone else might as well.

not knocking this, but just wanted to clarify that other than the path aspect (relative to complete absolute path), you're doing what sc_trans already does with the metadata by ignoring it (until i change the handling to make use of what's provided from the playlist if not able to be read from the media file).

Since I don't know exactly how the Transcoder determines what the relative path is (whether it's to the lst file or the directory the Transcoder is ran from) I can't make a determination to that.

The program handles both M3U files and PLS files differently but assumes the path the playlist file resides in to work out the relative to absolute path names.

Can't look at the source code to confirm at the moment but the application just skips over the metadata in M3U files but performs special handling on PLS files to process them (I think it treats them like INI files and proceeds thusly.)

Hope this answers your question.
