[Shaka]

Thank you so much sir. I will play around with it for a while and if I have any challenges or questions, I will definitely let you know. Once again, thank you.

It works perfectly. You are a true warrior sir.

Just about to give this a go, but like the user above, I'm new to this and have little {no} coding experience.
After having read through the thread, is it going to be an issue that I have music stored on a number of drives, and that the majority of my files are FLAC rather than mp3?
I already use WinAmp, and have the latest version installed on Win 10

Hi - Sorry for the delayed reply - I didn't see the updated thread.

I've checked the code and it doesn't matter where the files are located or that they are FLAC files.

If you can create and playback playlists for Winamp with FLAC files, then this will work.

Currently, the batch file to grab the MP3's is :

Dir *.mp3 /on /b /s > "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"

Where for FLAC files, you could just change it to :

Dir *.flac /on /b /s > "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"

Note that you can add both FLAC files and MP3 files at the same time and spanning multiple drives.

For example, if you had your music on say Drive D and Drive E and they were mixed with both Mp3's and FLAC files, the 4 lines in a batch file would be :

=================
@Echo off
Cls
Dir D:\*.mp3 /on /b /s > "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"
Dir D:\*.flac /on /b /s >> "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"
Dir E:\*.mp3 /on /b /s >> "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"
Dir E:\*.flac /on /b /s >> "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"

=================

After running that, It would create the needed list within the (previously created) C:\MediaSort folder.

**Using two greater than signs (>>) redirects output and appends it to the existing file.

Lemme know if you'd like to try it. I can custom write a batch file for your musics' location if you'd like.

Hi Warrior,
If possible, could you send me a link to the script too please?
I'm hoping to use this in conjunction with AirParrot3 to stream the music from my computer back to my google home device! A bit like my own personal music streaming service

Hi

PM sent.

[streaming_owner]

Thanks Warior! I got the pm, but can't msg back yet because my account is new.
Aiming to give the script a go tonight.

I've not had a chance to test it much yet, so no feedback yet (except that it is awesome!). Just thought I would share my powershell script for populating the Mp3List.

This script is useful if you have songs that are in languages other than English. It also includes a few different song formats.

Code: Select all

Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\musicfolder1", "D:\musicfolder2" -Include *.mp3,*.m4a,*.wma,*.m4p,*.m4v,*.wav,*.mp2,*.ogg,*.flac,*.mpga -Recurse -File| ForEach-Object {
    % { $_.FullName }
} | Out-File -Encoding UTF8 -FilePath "C:\MediaSort\Mp3List.txt"

Heya - Did you get it working ok then ?
