Create playlists in windows for rockbox???

<< < (2/3) > >>

Llorean:
Why do you think an absolute path wouldn't work?

Rockbox ignores drive letters, so an absolute path should be perfectly acceptable.

ryran:
Wow. So as long as you did that command from the root of the player, rockbox would load it with no problems, no matter where the playlist was saved?

Llorean:
Aye, that'd give you a playlist of every .mp3 file on the player.

Yotto:
Sorry, I only use Windows when I must, and when I must is at work, and I'm not at work so I don't have a Window's machine handy.  I thought /b did absolute paths.

If you only want the music from one directory (Say music/soft_rock/70s/ for some reason) and all subdirectories from there, then you'd just (from the root) type:

dir /b /s music\soft_rock\70s\*.mp3 > soft_rock_70s.m3u

Repeat for other directories.

Yotto:
Now that I'm at work and can test it, I found this out (at least in XP):

If you include the /s switch, /b WILL use the entire path, no matter how you do it (ie from the root or from the directory to start in).  If you do NOT include the /s switch, the /b will NOT use the entire path, no matter what.

So, /s /b will ALWAYS work, while /b by itself will NEVER work, to create a good m3u file.
