M3U to YAAP Playlist Converter

[lavacano201014]

I'm running into a little issue here. It adds the directory the .m3u file is located in at the beggining of every line. Nothing Notepad++ won't have fixed, but you might want to have that looked into.

That's how it was designed.

I keep my YAAP playlists in "D:\YAAP" (with YAAP itself), and my music in "D:\media\music". If I didn't put the directory in at the time, then YAAP would try to load (for instance) "D:\YAAP\05 - Self Deception.mp3" and get all confused (and do I-don't-know-what), because there's nothing to indicate this file exists in "D:\media\music\Lacuna Coil\Comalies" instead.

Now unless ViRUS changed YAAP's playlist format since I've been gone, this is still necessary in the case that playlist files are kept separate from music.

I'm also having issues with it adding the m3u's folder at the start of every line.

I don't think it was intended if you have your music stored in C:\music\album\song.mp3 and playlists stoder in C:\playlists\myplaylist.m3u. That it would then have c:\playlists\\music\album\song.mp3 in every line...
Seeing as YAAP won't find anything there and thus fails to play anything.
Also if the music folder is say F:\music then it would read c:\playlists\F:\music\ wich baffels me even more as it seems like it replaced c: with the folder the m3u file was in... but only if it is in C: otherwise it just adds it.

I don't see any reason to desing it this way as it simply doesn't work.

Edit: I looked at the m3u file and noticed that instead of c:\music\album\song.mp3 it has \music\album\song.mp3... but if the file is in a different drive then in includes the drive letter. I don't know if this is because I made the file using winamp or if it was actually desinged this way...

Does sound like a bug. Easiest way to fix it is to just open the file in notepad (or another text editor) and do a 'replace' on the path with the "replace with" box empty.

so wait wait wait hold on

someone explain to me exactly where you're all storing your playlists. I'm confused.

I keep my YAAP playlists in "D:\YAAP" (with YAAP itself), and my music in "D:\media\music". If I didn't put the directory in at the time, then YAAP would try to load (for instance) "D:\YAAP\05 - Self Deception.mp3" and get all confused (and do I-don't-know-what), because there's nothing to indicate this file exists in "D:\media\music\Lacuna Coil\Comalies" instead.

.ypf files have something like this inside:

Code: [Select]

E:\Música\100 Armind Tunes\Anywhere but Here (Original Mix) [feat. Neev Kennedy].mp3
E:\Música\A State of Trance 550\London\01 - Invasion.mp3
E:\Música\Deep Mariano\B1nary c0des.mp3
E:\Música\Heatbeat\Another Loud Thought (Original Mix).mp3
E:\Música\Rosario Ravers\22-12-2011\Drowning (Avicii Remix).mp3
E:\Música\KhoMha\The Dark Knight (Original Mix).mp3
so yes, they do tell YAAP where song files are located.

Also, I have YAAP in "E:\Programas Visual Basic\New Audiosurf Player\New Audiosurf Player\bin\Debug" and my playlists folder is "E:\YAAP Playlists"
