Hello everyone, based on this script and this other I created a function that wraps the main code and expect as arguments a flag [-r/-s] and a directory allowing it to have 2 modes: (-r) create one playlist per subdirectory and (-s) create a single playlist that includes all subdirectories' songs. With this script I maintain my playlists easily. You can check it here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2513870

i try to use your scripts, but i get an error message because the script goes to Homes/username/ Music. I want to change it to search in my music library which is not in the Home/username/Music directory. How can i change the script to search in whatever folder i want?

give this a try https://github.com/mattiasghodsian/PhinellyPort

Thanks, Mattias

In the coming weeks, I will update my music library, and then I will try your script.
i will come back to you when I try it.
