My attempt at a WoW music player, hopefully mine will turn out better than the others out there ;).

*** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q) What should I do if I find a bug or if the playlist maker crashes?

A) Post a comment here with the Error Details (line number, file and error msg in WoW or what windows says when it crashes), Operating System you're on (XP, Vista, 7, ...), if you have .NET Framework 4.0 or better and any steps to reproduced the problem. Symbolic links only work on Windows Vista or higher.

Q) Playlist Maker crashes as I run it with no error message.

A) Make sure you have .NET Framework 4.0 or better installed! You can get it at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851

Q) Why do I need Windows Vista or better to create symbolic links (store music outside the WoW folder) using PlaylistMaker?

A) Symbolic links were not present in the NTFS filesystem prior to Windows Vista and the prior versions of Windows are not designed to handle them. You could manually create a junction point to C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MusicCommander\Music\ and although that would work, I do not support that method for a number of reasons. Reference for symbolic linking in Windows Vista or higher: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363866%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

Q) The names of Artists/Albums/Songs in MusicCommander are wrong, they should be _____.

A) More likely than not, the ID3 tags were not set properly. I recommend MusicBrainz Picard, it'll gather info on each mp3 and retag it properly to have all the right information.

*** OPERATING SYSTEM NOTICE:
Although this mod is capable of running on Linux and Mac, I do not have the means to make a PlaylistMaker for these operating systems. I have the knowledge of Perl to do it in linux if id3lib is installed but I don't have a box to test and dev it on. If anyone from the community would like to make PlaylistMaker for linux or mac, feel free to get a hold of me for details on the formatting and getting it implemented!

Playlist Maker is developed using C#/.NET Framework 4.0 and TagLib-Sharp.
