Shoutcast Playlist Generation In Linux

I'm progressing with the "new" stream server and I have it up and running locally now. Though I need some help with playlist creation on Linux. The playlist format is more or less just a list of mp3-files. - It must work recursively (i.e handle a structure like this /music/ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKS) - It can use wildcards for files in a directory (e.g /music/Gnomusy/Naru/*) Preferrably a Perl or shell script or something similar would be great. Shoutcast can use a script in the playlist which in turn generates the list. That way we can probably control our playlist better in the future. Anyone?

I just found about this. Well this might be quite late / too late to tell you this but one easy command would be: find . -name "*.mp3" or find /music/specialdir/ -name "*.mp3" or even find . -name "*Battle*.mp3"

Did you solve this problem or do you still need assistance? If you could describe a bit more detailed what the script should do, I'm sure I can help you with this.

Doh, I haven't tried it. I will put it on my list of things to try for the evening
