Putting aside why and what for, what I do is this: #1] Create a new FOLDER #2] Copy some audio files to it- in various formats. So I have something like: File A.mp3 Performance B.mp3 Song C.flac Track D.wv #3] Arrange them mostly alphabetically, rarely with sight variations- thus change their…

You can use an export script in which you edit the number of repetitions, e.g. $filename(%artist% - %album%.m3u8)#EXTM3U $loop(%_filename_ext%)$repeat(#EXTINF:%_length_seconds%','%artist% - %title%$char(13)$char(10)%_filename_rel%$char(13)$char(10),11) $loopend() This script creates 11 entries of …

[image] ohrenkino: You can use an export script in which you edit the number of repetitions, e.g. [...] So if I want to have a total of 15 entries of a given song in Winamp, I can execute an export code like this $filename(Loop List.m3u8,utf-8) #EXTINF$loop(%_filename_ext%)$repeat($char(13)…

So to answer my question: there is no way to do that in Mp3tag? To have one export action that creates playlist with 2 loops, that can be applied to any audio file - and copy the name of that audio file to the name of the M3U8 file? And then a mutation of it that creates 3, and another for 5, etc. S…

[image] Zerow: So to answer my question: there is no way to do that in Mp3tag? The linked thread shows numerous ways to get variable filenames for exports.

So in order to get 15 entries loops in a playlist that bears the name of a single selected file, I go now with $filename(%_FILENAME%.m3u8,utf-8)#EXTINF$loop(%_filename_ext%)$repeat($char(13)$char(10)%_filename_rel%$char(13)$char(10),15)$loopend() This is probably as close as I can get to what I ne…

remove [image] Zerow: $char(13)$char(10) to see if the layout then satisfies your needs.

Removal of that puts all of the exported data into one line And if I modify it to $filename(%_FILENAME%.m3u8,utf-8)#EXTINF$loop(%_filename_ext%)$repeat(%_filename_rel%,15) $loopend() then I get 2 lines, with the second one being empty and the first one still holding all of data

it might have been worthwhile to remove first one [image] Zerow: $char(13)$char(10) (which is a line feed) and then another. Feel free to experiment. It is your layout. And as far as I know, empty lines in a playlist do not matter, they are just cosmetic.

This version works the way I prefer $filename(%_FILENAME%.m3u8,utf-8)#EXTINF$loop(%_filename_ext%)$repeat(%_filename_rel%$char(13)$char(10),15)$loopend() so thank you once more As for cosmetics- that is true. But the [bonus] point it for that playlist to be more readable when viewed in TXT ed…

An efficient / quick way to make playlist of looped files - or some alternative?

I think you got a number of hints of how to use the different naming options in
