How to burn music files (mp3, ogg...) according to a playlist (m3u, pls...)

[Jan D]

Hi!

I need help to create an "mp3 CD" which will play my music in my playlist order. Most CD/DVD players will play an "Data CD" (e.g. CD with .mp3 files) in alphabetical order... What I need is some kind of software that will copy and then rename all files listed in the playlist by adding 001, 002, 003.....and so on..... Maybe a script will do the job?

Please help me to never leave the path of Linux!

I'd be very interested in this solution; as I've been looking for the ability to burn a mp3 cd via the m3u file. I have not found such an app.

Hi,
save your playlist as .m3u and then :

sed '/^#/d' MyPlayListFile.m3u | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 k3b --datacd

or if you prefer Brasero

sed '/^#/d' cd\ aprile\ 2009.m3u | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 brasero -d

Could you be a little more specific about the steps to take in terminal. this problem has bothered me for years. If I forget to number each file first they show up alphbatized! Thanks for your help.

my suggestion is for burn a mp3 Cd from a .3mu playlist file.

Probably what you need is batch renaming , ex :

just use k3b--I believe it will do what you want it to do

The attached script does a much better job... it will keep your files in the original order as specified by the M3U playlist file.

Files will be burned to data CD in their original MP3/M4A/OGG formats, there is not format conversion happening here.

Happy to hear any feedback about this... http://jpye.dyndns.org/

How do you use this (or any for that matter) script?
I have a playlist I want to burn to MP3, but it only give option for audio CD.

Is there a Player or Burner that will do this automatically?

To use the script, save it to your home directory (~/m3utocd.py), then save your /path/to/your/playlist.m3u (whatever its name is) then open a terminal window and type

python ~/m3utocd.py /path/to/your/playlist.m3u

that should make some output, then it should pop up a Brasero window allowing you to burn your MP3 CD with the correct track ordering.

I couldn't find any current software that supported this feature. I reported the script to the Rhythmbox developers but no reply just yet.

Well the solution is simple and already exists..

1. Open Rhythmbox and go to your playlist, select all tracks
2. Open Brasero and create a data project
3. Drag the selected tracks from Rhythmbox inside the Brasero add files window
4. Voilà! you're done

Hope this helps


P.S : you can do the same thing to copy the playlist inside a folder in a file system (Removable media for instance)
