Play any Song, Artist or Radio Station on Demand From Your Own MP3 Collection

Hi Warrior,

This looks awesome! Nice work!

Any chance I could test it out? I have a huge collection of music id love to try it on.

Hi

I sent you a Pm with a link to it. Note that I will eventually change it so it no longer requires the 'sleep' program to display what it's doing.
Windows 10 has a command I can use for it.

Lemme know what you think.

Hi - File sent - Lemme know how you go.

Good to hear - It's a fun program and cool if you have loads of songs.

Hi Warrior,

I'd love to get a copy of your script if possible. I have a ridiculously extensive music collection and it's a dream of mine to have it spin up on demand.



Thanks for your work. You're really pushing the limits!

Hi

I've sent it over via PM.

It works well with large libraries

See how you go.

Thank you so much! It's truly an outstanding idea. I never would have thought of just feeding m3u files to WinAmp but it works like a charm! I liked the way you approached the search particularly. That was a clever way to do it with batch files.

I ended up using your batch file but replacing the search guts with a C# command-line program that crawls the directory tree for media files and does the searching. I use a consistent naming scheme so I can tell the album artist, album, artist, track name and track number just from the file name.

That let me set up 3 different search options; track, album and artist. With track it will return a random match, album queues up the tracks in order and by artist returns all their tracks in random order. I use a least distance algorithm to find the best match so it deals well with spelling errors and missing words, etc. You can also specify artist as an added search criteria for albums or tracks to allow more control.

I had an absolute blast setting it up, and I never would have thought of it without you.

Thanks again!
