I created this project to store scripts and/or utilities for android devices like my Droid Bionic phone.
This script is made for people who use Enqueue, a mac audio player and playlist organizer.
The main reason I use Enqueue is because it is a fast and easy way to make a playlist from songs that
exist on external drives or other computers, especially when dealing with thousands of songs and
hundreds of GB of music. iTunes is not good at that. More
reasons
to get Enqueue
After using Enqueue to create playlists, use this script to copy a m3u playlist file and all songs it needs to android (USB mounted) or to a local directory (to sync later with android). Of course you don't have to copy to android, you can just use this to copy songs to local drive.
Here's a sample
% ./enqueue-playlists.py -h
Usage: enqueue-playlists.py [options]
Creates playlist m3u files from enqueue db, writes m3u files to output
directory, and copies all songs needed in m3u files to same output directory.
Only playlists listed in "playlists_file" will be created in output directory.
It's best to create initial "playlists_file" with -i, then edit file
commenting out playlists to skip, then invoke again with -c to copy.
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose returns verbose output
--erase_unused Erase files in dest_dir that are not used by m3u
playlists
--skip_empty_playlists
Skip playlists that have 0 songs
--db_file=DB_FILE Enqueue db file. Default:
/Users/chadn/Library/Application
Support/Enqueue/Enqueue.db
--dest_dir=DEST_DIR directory that will contain newly created playlists
and songs. Default: playlists/
-p PLAYLISTS_FILE, --playlists_file=PLAYLISTS_FILE
File containing list of playlists to export, created
using -i. Default: playlists.txt
-i, --initialize_playlists_file
Initialize the "playlists_file" based on current
playlists in Enqueue, replacing any existing file. Do
not create any other files.
-c, --copy_playlists Copy to "dest_dir" all playlists from the
"playlists_file", and songs referenced by them.
-m, --m3u_only Only create playlist m3u files, do not copy any songs.
--stats Output stats on the Enqueue DB
% time ./enqueue-playlists.py -v --dest_dir=/Volumes/BIONIC32GB/chadmedia -c --stats
