    I am using mkwebplay_dir to create my mp3 list/db file.  My mp3 directory is in the form of:

    .../artist - album/songname.mp3

    pretty straight forward.  When I try to run :
    mkwebplay_dir -m "{ARTIST} - {ALBUM}/{SONG}"

    if keeps telling me no songs found ("Found zero songs, calling it a day").  Few questions:

    - is there a size/character limit to each {VARIABLE} (my filename for some songs are really long)?

    - I have embedded spaces everywhere (in artist name, album title, song name, in between artist and album).  Is that gonna an issue?

    I am using version 1.00a.

      sorry... figured it out... I realized that mkwebplay_dir doesn't use masks; it expects the mp3s to be in a specific directory structure.

      yea, as you said you were using the wrong one -- mkwebplay_id3 is what you want.

      as per the other questions, embedded spaces should present no problems, tho there is a fix for certain control characters that is only in the cvs version (it broke the java xml parser).

      full path length shouldn't be a problem, either.
