Add to playlist script

[SilverEagle]

Hi All,

By request a script which makes sorting your music collection into playlists a bit easier. Two functions are available:

Add to playlist
This lets you select a playlist (either new one or existing). After that the curently playing song gets added to it.

Add to same playlist
This just adds the currently playing song to the last playlist you selected with 'Add to playlist'

It should all be rather foolproof with lots of messages to warn you if there are any problems with opening or writing files. It even keeps a backup from before the last change in "*.*-org".

Note: this script only supports M3U (not even M3U8), and Silverjuke only supports M3U playlists if they actually have the extension ".m3u".

Installation is simple: just put the script next to your silverjuke.exe and restart Silverjuke. The functions are available on the tool menu (rightclick->tools) but you can assign keys to them (rightclick->settings->advanced->further options, "Shortcut: Tools: Add to playlist" and "Shortcut: Tools: Add to same playlist").

UPDATE v1.1
- In the Silverjuke advanced settings you can now click on "AddToPlaylist - Use presets", if you say 'yes' 10 presets are added to the rightclick->tools. Use the advance options "AddToPlaylist - Preset <n>" to set the file for each preset to use, and assign shortcuts like before.

Have fun,
SilverEagle

Thanks alot, makes me very happy!

Still I would like to ask you if you could make a even simpler script, which saves to a specific playlist ex. jazz.m3u directly. then I would have to have one script for every playlist however it would only take one click and eliminate the "select playlist dialog". If you have the time & energy to do that I would appriciate it!

I made it more complicated instead ... See top posting update to v1.1.

I hope 10 presets are enough for you? I thought many more might make it very hard to remember which shortcut went to which playlist.

Perfect man!

one more question I really like that it checks the playlist if the track is already inside playlist, however I been trying to change the script so that i automaticly rejects the add without a alert screen. But I havent succeeded in doing that. Can you help me out?

Hi Spexer:

Basic hacking course in any programming language:

1) Find the line containing the text message you want to remove
2) Comment it out (see existing commentlines for the comment-syntax used in the language) or remove the line altogether. Don't remove anything more than that single line, the rest of the logic will still keep on working.
3) Enjoy!

One tip: don't keep copies of the script around where SJ can find them, you can't tell anymore which one is used.

PS: If you really give up (you shouldn't ) I'll give you the fix if you ask again...

Hi DCom,

we have not tested the script as such, however, in the newer versions of Silverjuke, the script's extension was changed from .sj to .js - so maybe a renaming will help?

Best regards,
