Create Batch Playlists Placed in Individual Folders

[Canuck58]

This export and code is unnecessary. The bug the users are referring to - when only one song is added to each playlist per folder - happens if you do not sort all the files in MP3 by path before hitting ctr-shift-P. Only when you sort by path first do all the files in the folder become included in the playlist.

From a previous post:

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 subfolders, you have to use a format string like
%_directory%\%artist% - %album%.m3u

I hope this helps with others that have been confused by this commonly requested operation.

I am taking a shot here, I don't know if anyone will see this. I googled my issue and it brought me here kind of ironically. But maybe you can help.

I don't actually use mp3tag, but I absolutely will buy it if it can do one thing. I have about 1100 folders of music, and after spending a ton of time organizing it, I want to create mass playlists (ie: one for each folder, which usually contains one album). I am not sure this is what the OP was trying to do, but it sounds like it. Also, while I am not a novice, the solution cited sounds complicated, can someone dumb it down for me?

I hope someone sees this and is able to offer some help.

Thanks!
