[edit]

export a list of your music library as a raw text file using "Export All"

you can use Sed (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm) to format it using the following script as example:


sed-Playlist_Tree.bat: 

sed -f sed-playlist_tree.sed d:\MusicList.txt > d:\MusicList.htm
del d:\MusicList.txt

sed-playlist_tree.sed: 

# SED script
# Playlist Tree list txt>html formatting
#
# this script is intended for the following query
# $directory(%_path%,3)|$directory(%_path%,2)|%_directoryname%|%_filename%
#
# number of indentation characters "+" needs to be adjusted


# remove unneeded and %_overallindex% decoration
s/<0>: Playlist Tree//
s/>:/ -/
s/<//

# delete leaves
/^+++++ /d

# font size and colour
s/^++++ /<font size="2" color="#000000">\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\;/
s/^+++ /<font size="2" color="#103070"><b>\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\&nbsp\;/
s/^++ /<font size="4" color="#2050A0"><b><br><br><br>/
s/^+ /<html><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text\/html;charset=utf-8"><font face="Arial"><font size="8" color="#3060B0"><b>/

# close tags after each line
a<\/font><\/b><br>

Now to play anything from the back of your couch, or from the kitchen... you only need to grab your printed list, press "Search" on the remote, type the index and press "OK"
