title: XMMS-Ruby and M3U
---
<p>
I wrote this little snippet of code in response to an email, and I thought it might be useful for other people.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<i>Basically, I'm trying to write some code that will connect to a running
XMMS session, grab the playlist and write out a .pls or a .m3u file.
Unfortunately, while XMMS can do this in a single operation, their API
doesn't seem to have a simple hook to do this. </i>
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, there's nothing in the remote API that lets you do that
in a single call. But it should be pretty easy to write; just iterate
over the list and print out the necessary lines for each entry.
Something like this:
</p>
<pre>
module Xmms
class Remote
#
# get playlist contents as m3u-encoded string
#
def to_m3u
"#EXTM3U\n" + playlist.map { |title, file, time|
"#EXTINF:#{time / 1000},#{title}\n#{file}"
}.join("\n")
end
end
end
</pre>
<p>
Then, to save a playlist, you can just do the following:
</p>
<pre>
xmms = Xmms::Remote.new
File::open('path/to/output.m3u', 'w') { |out| out.puts xmms.to_m3u }
</pre>
<p>
Hope this helps...
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
<b>Update:</b> I tossed this code in a downloadable file, and I added an
<code>Xmms::Remote#save_m3u</code> method for free. <a
