assuming my phone (Nokia N96) uses the following folder structure:

Thanks

I am wondering why don't you use MM options for synchronization with your device. You cannot specify folder structure with this add-on, but it is created as it is already in your tree panel under the selected node. So, if you want to export playlist with your structure, it could be best to click on the Artist node and choose Export M3Us for child nodes, but previously you should modify setting in the Options dialog box for the Replace folders in .m3u files: option to replace your drive letter and/or part of the path with the "\music\". It all depends in which folders you have audio files, so I cannot tell you exactly what you should type.Blutarsky wrote:assuming my phone (Nokia N96) uses the following folder structure:

If you are still interested, the new version of Magic Nodes (4.0) could create playlists with the nested levels of sub-nodes.markstuartwalker wrote:If the sub-nodes can be made to work properly then the 'playlist' can become part of my auto-sync list.
It doesn't work! The only way to sync successfully music with my Nokia N96 is to set the phone in mass storage mode and then sync. This way, playlists are NOT synchronized, anyhow if it did, it would contain wrong paths to the tracks and the phone would ignore them.ZvezdanD wrote: I am wondering why don't you use MM options for synchronization with your device.
Could I use regular expressions to change the path?ZvezdanD wrote: You cannot specify folder structure with this add-on, but it is created as it is already in your tree panel under the selected node.

Of course you could use Regular expressions to change paths, but from your example I cannot see a need for that - I think it is enough to enter Replace folders in .m3u files: C:\Users\Rix\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\ with: E:\Music\ and to turn off the Regular expressions option. Let me know if your audio files are stored in several different places (e.g. if you also have files stored somewhere else than C:\Users\Rix\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\) because in that case you need to use Regular expressions. However, are you sure that you have the correct drive letter? Is "E:" the drive letter which you get on your PC when you attach your device or is this the drive letter which your device has internally with those audio files stored on? Those two drive letters could (most likely) differ, and you need to enter the drive letter which is in use within your device with its Symbian OS.Blutarsky wrote:Could I use regular expressions to change the path?

Yes, you could try to change that, but I think that you don't need to change anything. Did you try to follow my second suggestion? Just transfer all your audio files to the device first, then select your device in the My Computer branch and choose Export M3Us for child nodes. Eventually, if your drive letters are different, you should use the option to replace folders first, but in this case you only need to specify drive letter as it is in PC and the one in the device itself ("E:"), instead of specifying root folders for source and destination. For example, if your device has the drive letter "G:" when you connect it to the PC, you should specify Replace folders in .m3u files: G: with: E:.Blutarsky wrote:But when the songs are copied to the phone, the numbered prefix, is removed, so the filename has changed....

Of course it brings one .m3u file per each folder. The name of this add-on clearly says that it is intended for exporting nodes to .m3u files/playlists. You already asked for the Artist\Album\ structure and I assumed that you want the same structure of .m3u files. Now, I am not sure what you really want. Maybe you could try to select specific playlist from the Playlists branch and choose the Export M3Us for child nodes option.Blutarsky wrote:Your suggestion brings to one m3u playlist per each folder (album)... I don't need this, I need only to export my selected playlists!

Ideally to become

A2.m3u
B3.m3u
B4.m3u
I am pretty sure that this is possible with this add-on, but I not sure that I understand what is your exact requirement. If you want to put all .m3u files into the root, you could try with the next settings:markstuartwalker wrote:I have a hierarchy of playlist folders that I want to flatten into a single folder
