[SOLVED] how to add new line to mp3 playlist bash script

punkska1977 · 02-14-2012, 07:15 AM

Hi,

i'm looking for a solution to add a newline to a mp3 playlist. I would like to add a full path to a mp3 file at each 25th line.

I already have a web radio setup but would like to add a jingle sort of "you're listening to ..."

i'm very novice in scripting but i'm welcome to your ideas

thx

Jo

Code:

# seq 1 100 | awk '{ if (NR % 5 == 1) {print "mynewfile.mp3"}; print}'
mynewfile.mp3
1
2
3
4
5
mynewfile.mp3
6
7
8
9
10
mynewfile.mp3
11
12
13
14
15
mynewfile.mp3
16
17

Just something like that? Change the 5 to 25 in your case, and feed it the playlist instead of a seq.

NB. This will not work with Ska though and Ska is F£$%^ing awful. :P
