This Python 3 script was made in order to export a list of .m3u or .m3u8 files, and convert its input to the chosen format. I wrote this script to be able to quickly export my DJ playlists to formats compatible with most hardware: this is why the default configuration only supports MP3 and AIFF conversion.
All converted files are renamed <artist> - <title>.ext. Duplicates will be skipped.
It has been tested on Windows.
- Install mutagen:
pip install mutagen - Clone this repository
playlistconvert playlist1.m3u [playlist2.m3u ...] [-o <output_directory>] [--preset <preset>] [--encoder] [-v] [-v2] [--no_playlists] [--export_playlists]
--preset <preset: choose your preset (default: mp3-v0)--encoder <encoder>: choose your encoder from theconfig.yamlfile (default: ffmpeg)-v,-v2: activate verbosity levels 1 or 2--export_playlists: make a copy of the input playlist with the files just created (default)--no_playlists: do not make a copy of the input playlist
To create your own configuration, create a file called config.yaml, and put any of the settings you can find in config_default.yaml to overwrite them.
Currently, you can change the default playlist directory, add your custom presets and encoders, and change the default preset.
- Audio files are recognized by their output names. Therefore, if several tracks from a same artist bear the same title, they will not be identified as different, and only the first one will be converted. This behaviour is intended to allow the co-existence of the same track in several playlists, and avoid converting it again every time.
- Add conversion multithreading
- Add customizable file output formats
- Allow for different tracks with the same artist/title to be recognized uniquely
