🎶 Copy music files in a playlist for export 💿
Copy your mp3s, in order, from an m3u playlist into a directory for export.
These scripts will:
Collect files in your music playlist
Order the songs
Copy them into a new directory.
Now can burn your collection to a CD, or send the playlist to friends. 👍
Using copy-m3u-playlist-files-to-directory
The script can, optionally, take two arguments:
The name of the m3u playlist file.
The location to place the contents of the playlist.
If neither is specified, the script defaults to
