one more.

When creating the playlist for a virtual CD I'm ending up with "?:\Track04.cda" as the pathinfo for the track within the playlist. Is there any possibility to get the path of the ripped mp3 file instead?

Thanks a again

I've no idea off hand, but I'll certainly put it on my list to give it a go. :)

All of the m3u's seem to be going to the root directory, not in the folders where the files live.

If I copy the m3u to the appropriate folder, it works just great - but I can't do that 5,000 times. :oops:

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks for making this great tool!

There are a number of variables at the top of the BatchM3UCreate.vbs file, which you can amend by opening the file in a text editor. However the default values should mean that all playlists are created in the album folders, and not the root directory.

I'm having a similar problem where all the playlists are going into a main directory rather than the album directories. All my music is on an external NAS, organized as NAS\Share\Music\Artist\Album... the m3u's are going into the Share folder. I'm using Vista with SP2, Mediamonkey 3.1.1.1261, your script v2.2. I haven't changed the script contents... could you suggest something for me to check to correct this?

I can't see anything obvious in the code. It might be worth editing the .vbs file though and changing "Debug" to be "True" and then you can email me the ".log" file.

Thanks, did that. In what folder is the .log file created?

In your windows temporary directory (%temp%) - all my debug logfiles go here now (although some older scripts maybe still me using the mediamonkey scripts folder).

Thanks, but no luck. I changed the script to Debug = True, ran the script, all m3u's went to the same root directory,

but no log was created.

You're in the wrong directory. The log is generated at C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp\, not C:\Windows\temp

This means that in your "MediaMonkey.ini" file you have in your [FilenameMappings] section an entry like of "5C=2D". Removing this should fix the problem for now, but I'll fix this in the next version.

I'm having the same issue.
I am confused though. was your post regarding the FileMappings setting in the mediamonkey.ini file a solution to this problem ?
If so, I cannot find the .ini file.

Not sure how to fix this issue.
Even when I tried to specify the directory to create the playlists in, it used the same convention for filenames with the - instead of slashes.
Any help would be great.
This script is what I need.
