Possible Extensions

The code I currently have is working fine for me. However, there may be a few extensions that can be helpful.

Configure locations

For now, some information is hard coded, for example the initial path that the playlists are to be written to. There should be some easy way of configuring this information and storing the information “somewhere”.

Check existence of files

It only makes sense to put files in the playlist if the files exist at the location that is put into the playlist. The Converter could check if the file actually exists and only include the file if it is already there.

This information could be checked at the time the playlist is displayed in the listbox. Not sure if the runtime of all that checking would be acceptable.

Copy the music files if required

The next step would be to have the Converter copy the file from the local path to the server location if the file is missing at the server location. That way, the file would be there whenever it is referenced in the playlist on the server.

Interested or other ideas?

Let me know if one of these or some other feature would be useful to you – just leave a comment or drop me an email. I will then see if I can put that in the code.
