How can I make a music playlist out of a .txt file?

Question

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 (I don't think that really matters) with Bash.

How can I make a music playlist out of a .txt file? It is a command but I forgot it. I would appreciate it if someone would write a tutorial.

Answer 1

You have to go to the folder of the music, than type:

ls > music.txt

The .txt file can be named what ever you want. The ls uses all the files in the folder, listing them and the > redirects the command to a .txt. Than press Enter or Return and that's it. If you are using mplayer for example, you type

mplayer -playlist music.txt
