Play playlists with directories based off root directory

Postby pikes » Sat May 12, 2012 9:11 pm

When you create a playlist in subsonic, it creates it like this:

d:\music\album\song.mp3

If I create a playlist in winamp, as long as I save the .m3u file in the same directory as the music then it creates it like this:

\album\song.mp3

I like creating playlists in winamp and would love for them to work in subsonic. Any chance for this? The way subsonic does it is also bad for running playlists across a network on a remote machine (if I'm not using subsonic) since it's looking for D:\Music whereas if it looked for the music based on the root directory it would work fine. Thanks!

The quickest work-around is to open the .m3u file in Notepad, and use Edit -> Replace (Ctrl+H) and replace "d:\music" with nothing, hitting the "Replace all" button.

I would suggest doing the opposite to what hakko suggested eg replace .\ with d:\

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.
