whiskeysix Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I'm scraping "this is" playlists from spotify for each artist in my library (ordered in the structure /Artist/Album/Trackname.flac) - these are working great from the "playlists" section, however when using "Folders Heirarchy" view, these are not displaying. Is it possible to have a flag added to show .m3u (or other playlist filetypes) from the folder hierarchy section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 So are you saying that you'd like playlist files (such as M3U, etc) to behave a bit like CUE files, and generate a nested 'pseudo-folder' within the current folder view? So clicking on such entries within the Folders or Folders Hierarchy categories would open the playlist's songs view? That does sound like a potentially useful option if you have you own favourites playlist saved within (for example) each artist's folder.

whiskeysix Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 I think exactly that (apologies, I have no experience with .cue files). I think it would be best hidden behind a flag though - not all users may want this! If i'm honest, given the sheer amount of features in Poweramp, I'm surprised it doesn't already exist!

andrewilley Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yes, if implemented I'm sure it would be an optional feature. Makes more sense with Relative Path Playlists, but could apply to anything I guess. I put all my own playlists in a Playlists folder for ease of management, but I can see why it might be nice to have per-artist favourite lists in their own folder hierarchy.

Kdogg Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I just tried to post on this topic (May, 2023) so I apologize if this duplicates my post. I am using a 1Tb micro SD card because I have thousands of tracks and playlists. I use M3u files for my playlists. There are thousands of curated playlists in my collection. It is no longer feasible for me to scroll through the Playlist listings, so I started using the 'Folders Hierarchy' feature. I'm sorting my artist sets into subfolders of various Genre folders. Now if I have 10 album folders by an artist I can just scroll to the appropriate Genre and easily find the artist. I was hoping I would see the playlists in those folders. Alas. Please make it possible for me to see the m3u files in those folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 @Kdogg I'm always curious as to why anyone would have such a large number of Playlists - unless they are simply duplicating existing tag-based Library Categories. The idea of playlists is normally to be able to group together assorted disparate songs in some specific non-linear order so they can be played as a separate entity. And those playlists are grouped together in one place so you can find them without having to hunt around different layered subfolder locations. All of mine are in a separate 'Playlists' folder for example. But technically I can't see why there couldn't be an option to show them in situ too, in the same way that .CUE files can been seen as pseudo subfolders.
