I (finally!) have a working EMMS to play my music collection, and would like to sort it into playlists. At the moment, my music directory (~/Music/) is already organized into folders (at the first level) which I would like to form the new playlists. Thus, I have an arrangement similar to this:

  • The contents of ~/Music/foo should form a playlist foo
  • The contents of ~/Music/bar should form a playlist bar
  • etc.

Can this be done in EMMS, and if so, how? Ideally, I would like to do it programmatically, so that in future, if I add more music, it'll generate another playlist for me automatically.

  • I'm sure one could write a bit of elisp code to be triggered by `emms-playlist-mode-hook`, to check for relevant `.m3u` files in `~/Music/` and create new ones as needed. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "form the new playlists"? If it is, you could probably do this more efficiently with a seperate script, outside of emacs. – Brian Z Jun 01 '15 at 02:37
  • Are you sure you need a playlist? The emms browser has the capacity to sort by directory names. – Dan Jun 01 '15 at 06:34
  • Finally being the key point. Hellish to configure. I've given up again. Who designed this playlist mechanism? It's like wading through molasses. – RichieHH Feb 19 '21 at 13:09
