My parents bought one of those (Linux based) Hauppauge MediaMVP's. Now it works in terms of how it was designed to work but I'm trying to get it to work as it should work using playlists. Of course this device only works in Windows despite being Linux based.
The tool I've given them for ripping their music creates an album playlist which takes the form b-%artist%-%album%.m3u and places them all in a common directory. Now I wanted to create a script that writes every entry from these album playlists into an uber all songs playlist called a-allsongs.m3u.
Now in Linux I'd just do this as a script
#rm -f a-allsongs.m3u
#cat b-*.m3u >> a-allsongs.m3u
In Windows I
#open each playlist in notepad and drag each list across to the common file
[sarcasm]See how easy Windows is. I managed to do it in one line there while that dirty commie OS takes 2 lines.[/sarcasm]
Any ideas how I can achieve this one click elusiveness in Windows. I'd prefer not to install cygwin on my parents machine.
