I have compiled a playlist in foobar audio player. My files lie in nested folders. There's a common root. Then there's a folder to distinguish the origin of the files (bought from amazon, iTunes, ripped from CD etc.) and eventually the typical hierarchy of artist and album.
When I drag the files from fb2k into a folder in explorer the hierarchy is flattened. The files are simply copied into one folder. A search on the internet says there's a tool AmoK Playlist Copy
that allows for opening a .fpl
playlist file and copy the audio files listed there into another directory maintaining the folder hierarchy. The latest version of that program dates back to 2011. I got it but was unable to open a .fpl
playlist. Foobar has modified their file format. Historic playlist files stored in a folder playlists-v1.3
can be read. Files from folder playlists-v1.4
, however, cannot be read. The v1.3 files are far outdated.
I want to copy carefully selected files to a USB stick and want to maintain structure of folders.
How can I copy audio files from a playlist in foobar to a folder maintaining hierarchy of the subfolders?
