batchfile to generate .pdl playlist for pocket MVP !

[Guest wizzleteet]

Hi all,

I wanted to use pocketMVP to play my .ogg files but I didn't want to type in a playlist to listen to them.

So... I made a batchfile to genereate them for me.

Prerequisite : sd cardreader

I installed the batchfile on the card and ran in from my PC using the cardreader, presto playlist.pdl

to do the same, make a textfile on your card and name it generatePlaylist.bat or something similar, then put this in the file:

(obviously you shouldn't copy the following comment)

---- begin copy from the following line ----

del playlist.pdl

for /R %%i in (*.mp3,*.ogg) do @echo Storage Card%%~npxi>> playlist.pdl

---- end copy ----

it scans the entrie sd card for mp3 and ogg files and puts the path, the filename and its extension in a file called 'playlist.pdl', prepended by "Storage Card"

For those of you without an sdcard this batchfile can be modified to scan the directory of musicfiles on the pc *before* you copy it to the phone.

Actually, come to think of it, I don't know if one can access the storage card from a command prompt using the usb cradle... will check that one tonight.

later
