Hi,
I've been using WinAmp for almost 10 years. On Linux, I've
always played MP3's using mpg123 or mpg321. However I want something
closer to Winamp in function.
When I use WinAmp, I open a directory, and it builds "on the fly" a
list of songs in the directory and any subdirectory. They can be sorted
by various options, but most of the time I leave it in the order
the files exist in.
Because of that I have my MP3 library arranged with a top level directory
of mp3, mounted with automounter or SAMBA on windows. Under it is
a directory named for each artist, and under that a directory for each
album (yes, I keep them together by albums, something no one else
seems to). Then under each album is the mp3 files, named <track>-title.mp3.
Some times I have two levels deep, such as
/mp3/artist/special_album/cd_1/01-first_track.mp3.
However what ever the number of levels is, I want to see a play list
(created when I open it) of:
first_track_title
second_track_title
....
last_track_title
without having to deal with the directory structure and file names,
the titles coming from the ID tags.
The advantage of this is that I can just leave it play, or if I get
to a track I don't like, or am not in the mood to listen to, I can either
skip forward with the "skip forward" button, or mouse click on a song
that is farther down in the playlist.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Geoff.
