Well fist thing i did was after perusing the heck out of multiple forums including this site, I found a particular application called AutoHotkey
http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
I downloaded the "Installer for AutoHotkey_L:" version and created the following script
- Code: Select all
run notepad
sleep 1000
Send ^o!
Sleep 500
Send "K:\Playlists\Drive List.m3u"{enter}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send ..\Music{Tab}file:///SDCard/Music{tab}{space}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send mp3{Tab}MP3{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send wma{Tab}WMA{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send m4a{Tab}M4A{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send flac{Tab}FLAC{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send \{Tab}/{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send {space}{Tab}+520{tab}a{esc}
Send ^h!
Sleep 100
Send &{Tab}+526{tab}a{esc}
Sleep 100
Send ^s!
Send !{F4}
This is is set up to do the following:
First it opens the .m3u (in this case my drive list) from my blackberry which is mounted to Drive K:\ (and i make sure that nothing else uses this letter) in the location that MM copies over the Playlists.
Then the script will turn the following file:
..\Music\Music\Blue Oyster Cult\Agents of Fortune\03 (Don't Fear) The Reaper.mp3
into:
file:///SDCard/Music/Music/Blue%20Oyster%20Cult/Agents%20of%20Fortune/03%20(Don't%20Fear)%20The%20Reaper.MP3
And this is what the blackberry will create (in that format anyways) when it makes its own playlists.
Now like i said in the beginning this was working great.... that is until i got songs like:
file:///SDCard/Music/Music/Dire%20Straits/Communiqué/01%20Once%20Upon%20a%20Time%20in%20the%20West.M4A
that's the Dire Straits on the Communiqué album .....
and this is what the blackberry wants it too look like:
file:///SDCard/Music/Music/Dire%20Straits/Communiqu%C3%A9/01%20Once%20Upon%20a%20Time%20in%20the%20West.m4a
.... now sure i could just add an additional code to replace all the "é" with "%C3%A9" like they do ... but wait it gets worse ... now I went to a local band and they were Russian ... and yup.... every character has a code just like that .... now unless i feel up to making this script three miles long ... I'm sure that there has got to be a way to translate the code into whatever ISO standard the blackberry is using for special characters
well thanks for reading and maybe i have been helpful to some of my fellow crackberry lovers ... but as you can see i could use some help myself
