Automatic mp3 playlist generator?

[[email protected]]

HI,

I've got boatloads of mp3 albums, most of which don't have a playlist
associated with them. Does anyone know of a utility that scans
directories and can generate a playlist per directory based on it's
contents? I'm thinking of picking up a d-link wireless media player,
but the only way it will play full albums/directories is if there's a
playlist associated.

Thanks,
Ryan

I did this recently with something like:

for folder in `find /mp3 -type d`
do
find $folder -type f -follow -name '*.ogg' -o -name '*.mp3' -o -name
'*.MP3' | sort > $folder/playlist.m3u
