RE: Playlist Strategy ... what to use? - claas - 05-02-2016 17:30 Hi, you could use iTunes and export the playlists as m3u using this: http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/itunesexport/ Should you have issues with UTF-8, you can convert the m3u files with a shell-script (found in the german Synology forum): Code: #!/bin/bashThere was also a guy who put this into an Apple-Script to automate the complete process from iTunes. It's not online anymore but I have it. If you want to have it, send me a PM as I'm unsure if I'm allowed to post a public link.[/quote] Claas RE: Playlist Strategy ... what to use? - krutsch - 05-02-2016 17:42 (05-02-2016 17:30)claas Wrote: Hi, Claas [/quote] Great minds think alike... I am already using that app with iTunes. Works really well, but I wanted something to build playlists outside of iTunes with my parallel FLAC collection. This is mostly because my streamers of choice struggle with ALAC files - especially high-res files. Not sure what I need the script for... the app already allows you to specify which playlists to export from iTunes, a target folder for export and even allows you to change leading paths to match the target NAS device. Really sweet app. For awhile, I was using my ALAC library and transcoding to WAV/24 with MinimStreamer and SoX, but with recent versions, this seems to break gapless playback, so I went back to my FLAC collection. |
