A while back i asked about exporting a list from Amarok for all the albums contained in the music database, sorted by artist.
Someone here gave me a dcop call command that i could input in the command line and redirect the output to a textfile.

Can someone help me with this command, as i have lost it.

Thanks,

You might want to read the according section in the wiki or have a look at kdcop which will also show you the available amarok dcop calls.

A "dcop amarok playlist" brings:
void saveM3u(QString path,bool relativePaths)

So, to store your collection, put everything in the playlist, sort it by artist then use:

dcop amarok playlist saveM3u /home/username/list.m3u 0

Code: Select all

alanceil@rivendell:00:23:0:~> dcop amarok playlist saveM3u /home/alanceil/list.m3u 0
alanceil@rivendell:00:23:0:~> head list.m3u
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:216,Inciting Incident

This would be the closest to a direct textfile, however you generate one yourself by using "dcop amarok player artist" and the like, but that's quite inconvenient.
(If you like xml, you can also use "dcop amarok playlist saveCurrentPlaylist")
