cp_m3u

A simple Fish script to copy all audio files from an M3U playlist.

Installation

Put the cp_m3u.fish script into ~/.config/fish/functions/ or where ever your Fish installation is configured to put function scripts.

Usage

Run cp_m3u --help in a Fish shell for a short list of commands.

This script will override files without asking, so beware of typos or copy-pasta!

  • To copy audio files from a playlist to the current working directory, run: 
    cp_m3u path/to/playlist.m3u
  • To copy audio files from a playlist into a specific directory, run: 
    cp_m3u -o path/to/out_dir path/to/playlist.m3u
cp_m3u --out_dir=path/to/out_dir path/to/playlist.m3u
    If the directory does not exist, it will be created. Not recursively, though.
  • To convert your audio files from FLAC to MP3 while copying, run: 
    cp_m3u -m path/to/playlist.m3u
cp_m3u --flac_to_mp3 path/to/playlist.m3u
    This feature needs ffmpeg to be installed.
  • Of course, the args can be combined: 
    cp_m3u -m -o path/to/out_dir path/to/playlist.m3u
  • You can copy files from multiple playlists in one go: 
    cp_m3u playlist_1.m3u playlist_2.m3u playlist_3.m3u

Contributing

I welcome bug fixes but will likely ignore feature requests. This script is specialised for my personal use cases, which is moving a bunch of heavy best-of playlists full of FLAC files to my little 8GiB MP3 player.
