Playlister (a windows app)

  There are many playlist makers out there; there is Playlist maker, Easy PSP  and then there is good old winamp

  I made my playlist off of winamp, comprising pink Floyd, foo fighters, oasis, and the lot (about a 1000) I wanted to transfer them to my pen drive so I could use it in my car ( I don’t use an iPod), there is no concept of a playlist in my obsolete can audio player, and at first I thought of copying each mp3 file and renaming it according to the order of the playlist … well bad idea… so I thought Ill write an app where I can select an mp3 in the order I want… well no.. so how about reading a winamp playlist, and copying the files and renaming them according to the order of the .m3u playlist (m3u is the extension of a playlist file)

And so I went about writing a windows app that reads an m3u file, reads all the files, gathers their path , copies them to another location and renames them to so they stay in the desired order (the order of the playlist)…. Whew…

   In the process I used some threading, file transfer, renaming constructs.

And so this is how it looks…

After selecting the playlist, the music files are displayed in a ListBox

   After selecting the transfer path, the transfer button is visible that is based on the copy of move option, select one of these and hit transfer.
