Hello,
I would like to use playlist (.pls) files with relative instead of
absolute paths in cmus. I would like for cmus to create relative paths
to files when saving .pls files and I would like cmus to recognize those
same paths.
For example, at the moment, if I have a playlist consisting of one song:
08 Endless Endless.m4a
And I save that playlist using the following command:
:load ~/Music/playlist.pls
Opening the playlist.pls file shows something like the following (on OSX):
/Users/will/Music/audio_files/Kraftwerk/Trans Europe Express
(Remastered)/08 Endless Endless.m4a
But I would like for the playlist contents to look like this:
~/Music/audio_files/Kraftwerk/Trans Europe Express (Remastered)/08
Endless Endless.m4a
And I would like cmus to recognize this. I am not sure if .pls files
even permit relative paths though nor can I see options for changing any
defaults in cmus. I'm sure I'm missing something very simple but I'd
appreciate advice.
Thanks,
Will
