Music Lybrary check folder content and update the library

[pety]

Hi Dmitry


I was thinking about a very usefull function in Music Library (if I remember well that was an old request).
I make libraries from speciffic folders. After complete add tracks from a folder I save all as new library.


I repeat this operation every time I add a track (or many) to a folder.
Wouldn't be great to add a function in Music Library to check the content of a folder (or subs too) and to update the Library?


That will give us peace and faster easier way to update a Library.

You can achieve so by using the makelibrary command: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/scheduler_commands.htm it will recreate the library from folders. Schedule this command at night and you'll always have up-to-date libraries.

The next version of music library will allow to schedule this command in a more convenient way, using the graphical UI instead of manually creating an event.

Until "The next version of music library will allow to schedule this command in a more convenient way, using the graphical UI instead of manually creating an event", can be used a command in a bat file?

There is a problem with makelibrary.
It doesn't know how to manage with spaces in paths and in names.


For example:
makelibrary Muzica Italiana.xml|D:\Muzica veche\MUSICA ITALIA-MOMENTI FELICI

No - this command can be used from RadioBOSS's scheduler only.

This should've been mentioned in the help file. If the path includes spaces, it has to be enclosed in quotes:

makelibrary Muzica Italiana.xml|"D:\Muzica veche\MUSICA ITALIA-MOMENTI FELICI"

Yes, indeed. In help file it is not mentioned

Still problems:

Sorry - as the library name itself also contains spaces, it has to be enclosed in quotes too:

makelibrary "Muzica Italiana.xml"|"D:\Muzica veche\MUSICA ITALIA-MOMENTI FELICI"

makelibrary "Muzica Italiana.xml"|"D:\Muzica veche\MUSICA ITALIA-MOMENTI FELICI"

Yes, it worked.Thanks !
