Hi,

I haven't been using Rockbox long so forgive me for sticking my nose in. I tend to use files rather than database, because with a structure and talk files I can hear what I'm playing.

If I understand the outstanding issue correctly, you want to have a playlist of all your device's content of a particular genre, regardless of where it is stored in the file system. E.g. All "classical", "country" - whatever.

My current flow when adding new content to my own player is paste new stuff, then run a tool to generate new _dirname.talks and file.talk files. Currently, my file.talk files just speak the names of the files, but I see no reason I couldn't change that and get them to speak info from the ID3 tags of the files instead.

With that in mind, Is there a reason Rockbox can't play a playlist generated on the computer, rather than by itself? Could a third step, after adding content and generating speech, be to generate a collection of genre-specific playlists?

So, you might end up with playlists/country.m3u, playlists/classical.m3u, the list goes on.  I don't know what format of playlist Rockbox uses, m3u was an example.

My point is, if you're looping through all the tracks on your player to generate audio clips to speak them anyway, you might just as well be able to produce playlists by genre using a similar technique.

What makes you think rockbox can't play playlists generated on PC? m3u is supported. I used to use this for multi CD albums - you set in ripping program to create separate m3us for individual CDs as well as integrated one with all tracks and you are set.
