This is way cool. It took me nearly an hour to compile the festival stuff, but amazingly it worked without much of any hacking. I added a little subroutine to pull in playlists from .m3u files (which are basically lists of paths to files). Here's the idea...
my @playlist; if ($ARGV[0] =~ /\.m3u$/i) { @playlist = fill_playlist($ARGV[0]); } elsif( @ARGV ) { @playlist = @ARGV; } else { say_error( "No playlist given. Please select some songs for me to p +lay!" ); } sub fill_playlist { my $playlist = shift; my @return; if (-r $playlist) { open(LIST,"<$playlist") or die "couldn't open $playlist: $!"; while(<LIST>) { next if /^#/; chomp; push @return, $_; } close(LIST); } else { say_error( "There was a problem accessing this playlist. Pleas +e select some songs for me to play!" ); exit; } return @return; }
