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.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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.
