Export playlist to CUE file

[mparrott]

Hello MM! Love your product and use it exclusively for media management.

I've run into a problem I hope you can fix for me. My DAP only accepts CUE files for playlist support. It's a COWON Plenue R.

I've confirmed that the player will use CUE files like a playlist. https://youtu.be/lCd-pfni1b4

Is there a way to export an existing playlist from MMW to a CUE file?

[Peke]

Ok,
Can you please copy one or two playlists from player that works I remember that there was a good CUE script for MMW, but also It should be possible to make Small script to export selected tracks in CUE.

WOW! Fast response!

The test CUE that worked is here:

A couple of things that may be worth noting...
- I had to manually enter the artist and title, which won't work on a long playlist that changes frequently.
- Even though the FILE shows a directory, I had to put the files in the root directory for the CUE to work.

If you saw the video, it will make sense...

This worked too. Again, I had to put the files in the root directory for any cue to work. It would be nice if I could leave my file structure intact. I just don't understand how CUE files work well enough...

[mparrott]

Thanks for the help. Ultimately, my goal is to find a way to create a CUE file that doesn't require major edits, and that will allow me to keep a file structure on my Plenue R that mirrors what I have on my PC.

Peke (Pavle), is there anything else I can provide, or do, to help get this expedited?

As a longtime Gold user, Cowon user, I too am looking for an answer to the question of exporting a playlist to a CUE file (Cowon Plenue R). Is there any more information on this?

Thank you.
