import m3u playlists
i'd be great if i could import playlist-files most simple format: m3u and/or pls
i've got 2 reasons when this gets usefull:
- scripting - i'm running podget to download stuff and i create m3u-playlists for updated/to-listen tracks, those reside in different directories, so that m3u-files contain relative paths
- typical folders with (double-cd?) albums, containing playlists to all tracks in the right order
btw: currently i'm thinking about writing a smallish python import-script myself that reads m3u-files and writes to your sqlite-db but having something integrated into cherrymusic would be far more usefull
Hello @DrAzraelTod,
This is a duplicate of #79. I requested this feature a long time ago, too, but it was turned down in a discussion about something like "focusing" and "priorities". :scream: Let's leave it open and see what @devsnd thinks. Looking at the pile of open issues and the arguments of the last discussion, the future of this issue doesn't look too bright. On the other hand, @devsnd is currently rewriting CherryMusic, so maybe he will consider implementing this feature this time. If you go through the discussion in above mentioned issue, you will also find an unfinished script that already contains the bulk of the work. Not sure if it's still up to date, though.
Oh, I forgot: In case you produce a well-working script, there is a dedicated repository cherrymusic-utils, where you could submit your script. We would definitely appreciate it.

Wow, great news! What's new in cm will we see on pipeline?
@DrAzraelTod: Here's a link to the script @6arms1leg mentioned, which shows how to create a CherryMusic playlist in Python: https://github.com/devsnd/cherrymusic/issues/79#issuecomment-53553615. It should still work.
