[Pjbexploder-announce] pjbExploder 1.0.35 released!

[Michael H. <mi...@ho...>]

This is version 1.0.35 of pjbExploder, release date Jan 6, 2004.
Happy New Year, yadda yadda yadda.

This release adds support for playlist files (.M3U files).
pjbExploder can now process these and create playlists on your
PJB-100.

To use this, select "Tools / Upload Playlist...".  When the file
dialog appears, select the playlist file that you are interested in.
pjbExploder will:
 - Locate all the tracks that are already on the PJB
 - Download anything not already on the PJB
 - Create (or replace, if it already exists) the playlist.

Playlists are located under the top-level set 'Playlists'.  The Disc
name is the same as the filename of the playlist file (so "foo.m3u"
becomes a disc called "foo"), and each track is named according to the
name generation options under "Tools / Options...".

Any file that can't be located will simply be ignored - the playlist
will be created without it.  Similarly, if you 'Cancel' during a
download, then pjbExploder will still create the playlist, but will
only include the tracks that it was able to locate on the PJB.

Playlist files themselves are quite simple.  A detailed description
is available on the Web - searching 'Google' for "m3uformat.pdf", for
example, will provide a good description.  If you are creating them by
hand, all you need to do is create a file with extension ".m3u", edit
it in your favorite text editor, and list the files in it, one per
line.

Questions? Comments?  Feel free to send them to me directly, or to the
PJB mailing list.
