I would like to see a feature built into Mp3tag that allows me to create a playlist automatically for every album in my music folder. For example, I'd like to be able to create a playlist in every album folder named "Album Name.m3u". The ability to change how the playlist is sorted would be nice t…

Wow, I was just coming to post the exact same idea. Actually, I thought the feature might be there and I was just missing it. But yeah, Folder Name.m3u for each subfolder with mp3 files in it would rock. BTW, MP3Tag has been indispensable to me for getting my files organized. Great job Florian! …

You can use the [Ctrl+Shift+P] keyboard shortcut, to recursively create playlists according to the format string at Options, Playlist for each subfolder. Please note that the files in Mp3tag's file view have to be sorted by directory. If you want Mp3tag to create the playlists in the appropriate su…

Thanks Florian! CTRL+SHIFT+P works great.

The automatic playlist creation or see setup in File>Options> and tick 'write extended information' is not working the latest version 2.73a. I have entered %artist% - %album% to create the playlist name from but all is filename 'mp3tag.m3u'. It's my first time on the forum so I hope I'm in the right…

It does. The extended information is that what is written in the m3u file. If you want a different filename, you have to go down further in the dialogue to the dropdownlist for the m3u filename and enter it there. the data for any entered variables is taken from the first file in the selected fil…

Thank you very much. Now sorted. Cheers
