Nope. Still just the one: Script to open m3u playlist from clipboard?

dang you just keep adding in wants.

it'll take some time to figure something out unless peke or lowlander or trixmoto can script something faster.

Probably. But I'd still then have to open it in MM.

I'd rather not have to save at all.

can you set up a macro to copy the clipboard and save to m3u file.?

CTRL+C in various programs, including Explorer and Notepad.

Sadly not. I currently manually save to a temp *.m3u files and am seeking improvement on this.

@chrisjj: How do you get this track reference into the clipboard? (Maybe some other program where you copy them from?)

I ask, because such a program maybe can write the same content to a *.m3u playlist file and you can drag & drop this playlist file into MM?

Thanks RC, but probably not. AFAICS some MM scripting is required.

You still ain't got this?

Um there was a prorgam from bellcraft that would read the clipboard every time something was copied to it and send the data to the msagents voice engine and have it read aloud.
Not sure how he did that but does that help you figure out what to do. ?

1) I have on the clipboard some track references e.g.

Code: Select all

P:\Dance\00094633599727-2-11.wma
P:\Dance\00094637195628-1-15.wma
P:\Dance\00094637195628-1-16.wma

2) In MM I press a shortcut key for a command script

3) The script loads the tracks referenced by the clipboard in to Now Playing, in the same way as "Open URL or File..." loads the the tracks referenced by a .M3U file.

Hmmm, from what I remember there is limitations what and when you can access clipboard from app.

Can you be more specific, an detailed example maybe?

Yes, I could. That's what I want to avoid.

Go in to windows folder and look for clipboard viewer put its icon in quick launch bar or in system tray. Then you could paste it in to notepad. I'm sure windows still has that viewer in it they had it since win 3.0 might be needing you to go to options and set windows to show icons for dll files in order to see the one to get. I believe it is in system 32 folder. No not a dll but its called
( clipbrd.exe ) you can use it then just make shortcut to it so as not to have to go in to folder all the time.

Thanks, RC but there is no text file. The content is on the clipboard.
