Playlists

[deleted]

Hi there on this rainy Sunday,

as I'm still new to runeaudio, I'm still playing around with it. Now I'm interested in playlists. I understand how to create them when playing music, but this would take quite a while to add the playlists I'd like to have. So: Is it possible to import playlists somehow? I created one within the runeaudio system but it didn't show up on the SD-card, so I guess it's somewhere hidden in the system - for whatever reason. If it's possible, I would create them on my computer and so also would need some advice on how the structure of the playlists are. My music is stored on an attached USB drive, so an example would be great.

Thanks everybody!

Hi ,

RuneAudio is based on mpd.
Mpd stores its playlists in m3u format in "/var/lib/mpd/playlists".

example:

NAS/MyMusic/David Elias/01 - David Elias - The Window - Vision of Her (DSD64).dsf
NAS/MyMusic/Fleetwood Mac/Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (2004) {Disc 1 of 2}/19 - Tusk.flac
NAS/MyMusic/Amy MacDonald/This is the life/01. Mr. Rock & Roll.flac
NAS/MyMusic/David Gilmour/[2008] Live In Gdansk,Disc 2/05. Echoes.flac
NAS/MyMusic/Fleetwood Mac/[1987] Tango in the Night/07. Little Lies.flac
NAS/MyMusic/Music/Amy Winehouse/Back To Black (Lim. Sonderedition)/07 Tears Dry On Their Own.wma
NAS/MyMusic/Leonard Cohen/Greatest Hits/01 Susanne.wav
NAS/MyMusic/Fleetwood Mac/Rumours/04 Don't Stop.wav

If you are not satisfied with the UI and its possibilities to generate playlists you can try a mpd client.

Thanks Frank!

I really do appreciate the work you all do with runeaudio and the support you give, especially on a Sunday.

I searched the SD card but couldn't find any file or directory. I thought there must be some directory where playlists are stored...
Thinking about it now, there's not very much visible on the SD card anyway. I also searched the invisible files and folders without success. How can I find this folder? I should mention that I'm a Mac user.

I know that runeaudio is based on mpd. I already read the mpd documentation randomly and learned that there is a playlist plugin. So it could have been activated in runeaudio to import playlists.

Hi Grundgütiger,

I searched the SD card but couldn't find any file or directory.

This directory is only visible / accessible when the sd card is attached to your pi and the system is running.
When inserting your sd card into your mac book, you only see the boot partition.

To access this files you can use:

- scp (on Windows i recommend WinSCP, on MacOS you can try something like Fugu)
- samba

I can see!

Found it! No need for an extra program. The Mac's finder was all I needed. There also was no need for a password, a guest log-in did the job.

Thanks for that!
