[Release] Meizu Playlist Converter

[Th3_uN1Qu3]

To everybody who likes playlists and finds syncing the player to the PC to be a big hassle, here's my response. A playlist converter.

It's a simple command-line app, regular M3U/PLS playlist goes in, Meizu-compatible M3U playlist comes out. Simple as that.

How to use:

1. Extract the archive.
2. Run Meizu Playlist Converter.exe
3. Type in the filename of the playlist to convert (with .M3U or .PLS extension)
4. Type in the desired filename of the converted playlist (cannot be the same as the source, put .M3U extension here)
5. Copy converted playlist to PLAYLISTS folder on your M6 and enjoy!



If you haven't figured out already, the initial playlists should be made by opening the MUSIC folder on your M6 with your favorite music player, selecting the tracks and saving the playlist in either M3U or PLS format.

Playlists converted by this program work perfectly on my M6SL, might work with the M3 too, if they do, let me know.

Sorry for the size, it's written in Python. Might port it to C++ sometime.

Download (re-updated to v0.3)

Feedback is welcome!

Change log:

v0.3 (6 Jan 2008)
Added spaces in EXE name.
Added version number to program.
Fixed conversion from PLS format, removed "EXPERIMENTAL" notice when you convert PLS files.
Created this file (changelog.txt).

v0.2 (5 Jan 2008)
Added experimental PLS conversion support, which didn't actually work. The playlist was recognized by the M6 and the songs were listed but the player wouldn't find the songs when you tried to play them.

v0.1 (5 Jan 2008)
Initial public release.

Thanks for this Th3_uN1Qu3.

Can you also upload it to this site as well? I'm scared that mediafire.com might remove it after some time which would be a pity. We'll keep the upload for as long as this site is running.

But i'll keep working on it coz i have more things to sort out in the PLS conversion and maybe make it drag-and-drop, so i wouldn't worry about the links expiring. :P

Thanks. I found out that i'm actually able to code something useful.

Thanks for the thumbs up, someone over at MeizuMe told me that the program cuts off the leading backslash and the first character of the folder path. The only way that i see this happening is his playlist being different from what i've coded with. But he says it was generated using Winamp 5.5. Strange, as i use the same Winamp 5.5 and it works just fine. :?:

The read offsets are fixed (was too lazy to code a text finder to remove the drive letter), so any difference in playlist layout will bug up the output. Well, guess i'll have to write that text finder anyway...
