Playlist Generator for Winamp

This app is designed to make iAmpRemote easier to use by generating playlists for your media files, based on the directory structure they are in.

It scans a directory (configurable), finds all media files within each subdirectory and puts them into a playlist.  It then saves each playlist into the Media Library AppData folder, and writes an entry for each generated playlist into playlists.xml (everwriting the previous copy of playlists.xml).  This causes each subfolder to appear as a playlist in the Winamp Media Library, which in turn allows iAmpRemote to view my files.

You can download the source (c#, VS2010), or just grab the executable.

Playlist Generator Instructions

1.       Download and unzip PlaylistGenerator.zip.

2.       Edit config.xml:

a.       Set ScanDirectory.path to your root media folder

b.      Set MediaLibrary.path to your Media Library Plugin folder ("C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\ml")

3.       Close winamp if it is open.

4.       Run PlaylistGenerator.exe.

5.       Open Winamp.

*Be aware that any existing entries in your Media Library Playlists will be removed.

Troubleshooting

1.       The .NET Framework 3.5 is required.

2.       If an error occurs, it will be written to the console.  If the cause is not clear you might need to refer to the code, or post a question in the comments and I will try to help.

3.       The first time you open the playlist library in iAmpRemote, it may give an “Empty Playlist Library” error.  Simply restart Winamp if this happens.
