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.
