Podcast Synch Batch File
From Rabbi Blog
Not finding a good way to manage my podcasts on my Sansa e250 and I'm already manually dumping files from iTunes anyway (my choice).
For the meantime, here is synch.bat to del all files in the Podcasts directory on the Sansa and then xcopy everything in the iTunes Podcasts directory. It's not quick, but it works.
echo off cls del "g:\music\podcasts\*" /S /Q xcopy "D:\music\Ipod\Podcasts\*.mp3" /S "g:\music\Podcasts\"
Next step I plan to write something that checks:
- Cleanup the code
- Make a playlist (by directory or by group?)
Does file exist in both places - don't copyDoes file exist in dest and not in source - del destDoes file exist in source and not in dest - copy sourceImplement create directory if not exist routineRead the Sansa On The Go Playlist and delete files that are foundMake dest drive setting valueCheck ID3 tag and set if blank- see &johncdvorak
Autoplay Handler
Added an AutoPlay handler (directions here). Now when connected, synchronization is possible from the popup window.
Script Test
Perl Script
Next time I look at this I will most likely remove the MP3:: info and routines during cleanup. The script has gotten very messy while playing with this.
