Playlist Export Tool

Beautiful, thank you.

I do not have the 'Export Playlist(s)' option in the file menu after installing this add-on. I do have the right songbird version. My OS is ubuntu.

I had thought about writing this myself, good to see someone else had the same idea so I didn't have to do it! Unfortunately I cannot see the Export Playlist button as well. I am running Gentoo Linux. The only suggestion I have is to add an option to the right-click menu of playlists on the left bar with an option to export that way. Seems more natural, at least in my opinion.

Nice job. Minor point, it seems to export to the wrong playlist type: if I have m3u set in preferences I get pls and if I select pls I get m3u.

I don’t have an “Export Playlist” option on my file folder! What is up with that??? please tell me what is wrong. :(

Thanks for the update.

“Export Playlist” does not save the songs rating.
Can this be added?

I really miss the possibility to save playlists in *.m3u8 (Unicode). I have quite a lot of music that can't be saved and read in *.m3u and *.pls.

Hi Compugeek,

I posted a question that a Songbird employee is helping with, and it regards your add-on, so I thought I should give you a link: http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/where_are_individual_playlist_files_located_in_macosx . It's about duplicates created from importing playlists that contain songs already in your library. It seems to me to be a Songbird issue and not an add-on issue, but you might want to know anyhoo....

I've been looking for a way to sync a songbird playlist to a media player in linux, and came up with the idea that a modified version of your plugin might be able to export a M3U playlist and then pass the URL of the playlist to MTPsync..

For more info on MTPsync, look here:

It's working good. However I miss the feature to save the playlist entries relatively to their path.

For example:
My Playlist songs are on D:\Songs\ and I save the list on D:\ the entry path should be like Songs\title.mp3 instead of D:\Songs\title.mp3

this add-on is not working because "Playlist Export Tool 0.1.1.10 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Songbird 1.0.0rc1" could you take some of your time to make it work??? pleaaaase

Thanks

exporting a playlist doesn't work work me

what do i do to make it work

Ditto the request for relative paths! I'd like to be able to copy M3U files over to my MP3 player.

It doesn't work!!!!
no exports!!!!
what to do????

Does not support non-English song titles and folders, try adding UTF8/Unicode. This is what the output looks like:


[#EXTINF:360," - 0?>;=8< =51> 4>1@>B>9
c:\~8< =51\B>9\010?\"\2005_xxv. 0?>;=8< =51> 4>1@>B>9\01_0?>;=8< =51> 4>1@>B>9.mp3

UPD: the only way I could export when I added an alert() function on alert(playlist_txt); at line 230 in export_03.js to bring the playlist output. I was then able to copy the window contents and put it into the m3u file.

awesome. thank you !

Nice. Seems to work okay.

The one reason I want this though, is to use with Rockbox. Could we have an export with local/relative file paths?

It don't work under the environment that contain 2byte character of mp3tags.

grear tool,
it helps me a lot.

When will this add-on be compatible with 1.1?

When I updaten from 1.0 to 1.1.1 it deleted all my playlists. I really don´t want that to happen again? Will there be an update for this Add-on?

Is it possible to add an option to copy the songs of a playlist?

Well this is great and serves it's purpose, but I need it to do a tad more. I thought I would be able to dig around the souce and figure out what I wanted changed and change it. I was wrong.

I would love to be able to specify the drive written to the path of files in the m3u/pls file.

For example, I want to export playlists from one computer to another. These computers have identical libraries that stay synced, but I don't have a way to keep the playlists synced because the music files are kept on different drives. So I have to export playlists as I change them and move it to the other computer. Currently I open the playlist and do a find/replace like find C:\ replace with I:\ and that works. I thought it would be an easy preference to be able to select the path.

IDEALLY, A whole new plugin would be written that keeps entire libraries synced or even a share plugin that lets you share playlists with people and it goes through your library and sees which songs you have and puts those in the playlist otherwise it skips them or shows a list of missing songs somewhere.

Hi there is a slight problem with Asia filenames when using the tool to export the playlist with Asia filenames. When I import the playlist back the asian files become unreadable even though the file is still at the same location

no export file visible after installation on vesrion 1.1.2

Nice idea, though...
