I have decided to switch, for a while, to pure text-mode and avoid using GUI. Therefore, I use virtual terminal in my Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) which accessible easily with pressing CTRL+ALT+F(X), X could be 1 to 6. If you press CTRL+ALT+F7 you will back to GUI again.
To make it short, I wanted to make a playlist (.m3u) to play my favorite songs in Mpg123 player.
At first it looked difficult but shortly I found a solution. To be exact I use the following commands.
$ cd
$ pwd >> playlist.m3u
$ ls >> playlist.m3u
$ vim playlist.m3u
Then I edit the playlist and add the path before each file name.
Description of the procedure
- I put the current path (which is my Music folder) to a file (playlist.m3u). Generally, m3u file is text file and you can open it with text editor.
- I redirect the file names to playlist file.
- Finally, I edit the file and remove the file names which I do not want to listen and add the path before the names of songs which I want to listen.
Easy, right? Enjoy!
