PlayListCopy
May 07, 2006 ( geek )
So, I don't own an iPod. I do own a USB memory stick, and I am an OCD winamp playlist maker.
My frustration is this: I have an EXCELLENT winamp playlist for x. I want to take this playlist to a party, or work, or whatever, using my USB stick. I am left with not many good options. I can go through, find each file by looking at Winamp's metadata and manually copy each one over (most of my music is labeled and in folders, but still, this takes lots of time for non-artist/genre related music).
Or I can use a winamp plugin to write it out to wav files and re-encode these. That's a lot of machine and processor time.
OR, I can write a little perl program that parses m3u files and copies them to the current Windows user's desktop into a directory named after the playlist, and share this code with The World. It's GPL, and available at
