I was told that the playlists are stored in /var/lib/mpd/playlists, yet when I create a playlist and store it in this location it is not recognized or "seen" by the software. However, if I place the playlist in the location /srv/http/data/playlists/ the software sees the playlist and it is listed in the playlist window. Why is this?
Also, the M3U playlist I create, though seen by the software, must have some sort of error in it because though it has the correct number of entries, they are all shown as "NULL". I've tried to use the format indicated in the quote posted below, but that didn't help. What is it I need to do to create a playlist using an external source (i.e., my laptop) and then ensure that the file format is correct and that the pathing is also correct. I've tried to read some of the MPD information, but it doesn't clarify what I am trying to seek answers to. Is there a "simpler" source of information?
Creating playlists and utilizing them should not be such an effort. But creating a playlist using the Runeaudio software when I have thousands of titles and there are multiple variations of playlists I want to create just isn't feasible.
I appreciate any all assistance and look forward to any responses.
Thank you

RuneAudio is based on mpd.
Mpd stores its playlists in m3u format in "/var/lib/mpd/playlists".
example:
- Code: Select all
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.
