fplsync

=======

fplsync is a python script/module that allows you to synchronize

foobar2000's FPL playlists and their contents to some other directory,

such as the SD card on an Android phone.

Features

--------

* Runs without opening foobar2000

* Works fine with large libraries (tested with a 26k track library)

* Works fine with autoplaylists, allowing you to take advantage of

  foobar2000's powerful query syntax

* Basic CLI that allows you to sync music from given playlists until

  space runs out

* Specify a maximum amount of data to copy and/or a minimum amount of

  free space to keep

* Save playlists as m3u8 files at the destination device, with relative

  file paths pointing to music in the destination directory

* Python module to enable more complex logic (e.g. copy all songs from

  playlist A, copy 50 random songs from playlist B if it's a Tuesday,

  copy the first 10 songs from Playlist C, then fill any remaining space

  with random tracks)

* Preserves directory structure from the source directory

Limitations

--------

* Pretty sure it won't work on Windows (I got lazy at one point)

* Based on reverse-engineering of the binary format that foobar2000

  uses, which is purposefully undocumented and unstable

* Not tested with MTP/PTP protocols - I'm just plugging my SD card into

  my machine.  I assume connecting your phone as UMS will work.

* Python module is very bare bones and untested at the moment

See the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/fracture91/fplsync/issues)

Requirements

--------

* foobar2000 1.1.13, presumably running under Wine, though all that's

  really needed is its "playlists" directory

* rsync (I have 3.0.9)

* Python 3.2

* du (I have 8.13)

Usage

--------

./fplsync.py --help

I *highly* recommend using the --dry-run flag before syncing for real.

See [my dotfiles]

(https://github.com/fracture91/dotfiles/blob/master/syncmusic.py)

for an example script that uses fplsync

Note that foobar2000 doesn't normally write its playlist files to disk

while it's running.  You can force a write by shift-clicking the

File menu > Save configuration.
