Hi
I have tried to use the script for exporting playlists from child nodes into a single folder. The script works to a fashion, however, I can't work out the options to get the right file name for the playlist files.
The script is known, I think, as ExportM3UsForSubNodes-4.1
I have my music in folders such that in an MP3 parent folder, I have subfolders for all the artists, and within them are the folders for the albums. In each album folder is a playlist file called <artist> - <album>.m3u
At the root of the drive where the MP3 folder is, I have another folder called Playlists. That's where I want exported copies of the playlists in all the "child nodes" to reside. The problem is that at the moment, when I export the playlists, the files are named <album> - <artist> - <album>.m3u
Is there a way to tweak things so that the Album name only features once, just like it does in the playlists that I have within the music folders?
Alternatively, is there a file renaming script / application that can remove everything that can rename files by removing everything before the first dash and the space immediately after the first dash?
Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming.
