NAME

       mpgenplaylists - generate mpd playlists for each subdirectory of music

SYNOPSIS

       mpgenplaylists

DESCRIPTION

       mpgenplaylists generates mpd playlists.

       It reads your ~/.mpdconf or /etc/mpd.conf to figure out where mpd keeps
       its music directory and playlist directory.

       For each subdirectory of the music directory, a playlist is generated
       in the playlist directory. The playlists created by this tool always
       start with a space to avoid conflicts with your manually created
       playlists.

       So if you keep your sound in Artist/Album/ directories, you’ll get
       playlists named like " Artist - Album", and also playlists named just "
       Artist" that contain all music by that artist. An " all" playlist is
       also created, that contains all your music.

       Each time it’s run it updates the playlists, and removes any obsolete
       ones that it created before.

LIMITATIONS

       It does not currently sort songs in an album by track number, but
       instead sorts by filename.
