I'm wondering if such a tool exists...I want a playlist generator that I can point at a folder (containing all my mp3 albums) and get it to automatically generate individual playlists based on the folder name of each album.

DOES SUCH AN AMINAL EXIST?!?!? (or do I have to waste a portion of my life writing it?)

Cheers!

TagScanner is pretty painless...

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

What does "tagscanner" do exactly?

The .m3u playlist files are pretty straightforward, just an ASCII directory reference file.

What would be great is a tag editor, if such a thing exists (something that accesses an online database for file names/naming conventions based on album/artist).

Hmmm...don't think I'm capable of such a thing...

I just use tagscanner for creating playlists of all my albums in excel. If you want a good tag editor (that can access the cddb and automatically tag as well) Try Tag&Rename. They have newer versions out, but I have version 2.1.6, and love it. It is a sinch to use - very windows explorer like, and has tons of great features, like create tags from filenames, and vice versa. You can do batch jobs as well. A while ago I spent a good deal of time (and downloading) looking for a good tagger, and so far I haven't found one better.

function reencode_mp3
%%This is my solution to archiving, reencoding, and creating playlists for
%%an entire MP3 collection, regardless of the size of the archive
%%Routine assumes a 'Z:\mp3_archive/incoming\' and 'Z:\mp3_96kbps\' folder
%%and that the great audio encoding utility 'lame.exe' is globally pathed
%%Takes all tracks in 'Z:\mp3_archive/incoming\' and reencodes them at
%%96Kbps, transfers them to 'Z:\mp3_archive/incoming\', using the archived
%%folder naming convention, and creates a usable playlist for use on a
%%portable MP3 player or Winamp (or similar universal player).
%%Please note:
%%Routine also requires modified subroutines 'rename_mp3' and
%%'create_playlist2'
%%Please forward any feedback or code requests to brad1102 @
%%www.afterdawn.com or this thread
cd Z:\mp3_archive\Incoming
static1=('Z:\mp3_96kbps\');
aaa=dir('*.*');
for i=4:length(aaa);
cd (aaa(i).name)
%%List mp3 files in folder and recode them
fold=(aaa(i).name);
dfold=sprintf('%s%s\\',static1,fold);
bbb=dir('*.mp3');
for j=1:length(bbb);
eval(sprintf('!lame -b 96 "%s" "%s_R"',bbb(j).name,bbb(j).name));
end
eval(sprintf('!mkdir "%s"',dfold));
eval(sprintf('!xcopy /y *.mp3_R "%s"',dfold));
eval(sprintf('!del /q *.mp3_R'));
cd (dfold);
%%All of the reencoded (96kbps) files have been transfered to
%%'Z:\mp3_96kbps\' with a preceding _R and need to be renamed
rename_mp3
%%As an added touch, lets create a RIO CALI compatible playlist for the
%%Album, shall we?
create_playlist2
%%Copy the newly created playlist to the root of 'Z:\mp3_96kbps\'
eval(sprintf('!xcopy /y *.m3u "%s"',static1));
%%Delete the one in the album folder
eval(sprintf('!del /q *.m3u'));
%%Get back to the root of the main archive for processing of the next
%%Album
cd Z:\mp3_archive\Incoming
end
