Extm3u.pl creates a comprehensive .m3u playlist using a specified directory.
Extm3u.pl is a fantastic software for all MPEG layer 3 users out there. It generates an extended .m3u playlist from a given directory, which can be utilized with Winamp, XMMS, and other players. The playlist is printed to stdout for convenient accessibility. The extended .m3u files have extra information included, like the length of the song and data from the ID3 tag.
This script can only do its job with the help of the MP3::Info Perl-module, so make sure you have it properly installed. The process of generating the playlist is straightforward. You will see the length of the song in seconds, followed by the artist name and song name from the ID3 tag. For example, it will look like this: EXTINF:187,Bob Marley & The Wailers- Keep On Moving ./Bob_Marley_and_The_Wailers/Trilogy_CD3/Keep_On_Moving.mp3.
One of the best parts of this software is its recent update. In the latest version, the software now supports OGG Vorbis, thanks to David Klotz. Overall, extm3u.pl is a powerful and reliable software that every MPEG layer 3 user should have in their arsenal.
