What Mask Format for Syncing Playlists with Parent Folders [#19582]

Post by richiefinger »

How can I set up a mask for syncing to an external hard drive and keep the playlist "folder" structure?

ie: MAIN PLAYLIST FOLDER playlist has Child Playlist 1 and Child Playlist 2 within it.
I want to sync to folder so 1st folder within Music Folder on the drive is "MAIN PLAYLIST FOLDER and within that folder are two folders = Child Playlist 1 and Child Playlist 2.

\Music\<Playlist>\<Artist> - <Title> ,does not generate the nested structure, all playlists folders are in the MUSIC folder.

That's not possible, there is no Mask to get the nested structure.

I don't know if it will be added, it's never been requested before, but if lots of users ask for it, it may be added.

Hi,
Just to make sure You want for example to sync like this:
\MUSIC\Playlist1\01. test.mp3
\MUSIC\Playlist1\SubPlaylist1\01. subtest1.mp3
\MUSIC\Playlist1\SubPlaylist2\01. subtest2.mp3

But using single Mask like this one "\Music\<Playlist>\<Auto Number>. <Artist> - <Title>"?

I believe the request was for assistance to find any kind of mask that could achieve this.

Yes, it would create folders of the Parent Playlists the Playlist the file is located in.
