![]() ![]() I saved the file and then on the Export Configuration window I changed the “Export file name:” to the following: \$replace(%_folderpath%%_filename_ext%,%_workingpath%,) $loop(%_filename_ext%)#EXTINF:%_length_seconds%,%artist% - %title% $filename(%_folderpath%%artist%-%_directory%.m3u,ansi)#EXTM3U Select the new export configuration and click the Edit icon (second icon down) which will open the preset in notepad and then add the following code: I created a new export preset and called it createplaylists. In MP3Tag I selected all the tracks in the MP3 folder and then used the File – Export menu to open the Export Configuration window. MP3Tag also has an export system where you can write your own custom playlist formats which are exported into the folder of your choice. ![]() I use a program called MP3Tag from to update the ID3 tags on my music files and this also has options to generate playlist files (.m3u format) for the selected tracks. My music collection is stored on a Synology Diskstation NAS and Windows 10 maps the network drive to a letter on my PC with each album sorted into an artist folder with each artist being in a folder for each letter of the alphabet. I ordered a Samsung T3 USB 3.1 250 GB External Solid State Drive from Amazon to use for the music. To store the music in the car I decided to use an external SSD hard drive as it would be a lot faster to copy the music onto rather than using a higher capacity USB stick drive. I did a lot of research on various Ford official and unofficial forums and there was a lot of confusion on how to get the Sync 3 system to index and read playlist files for your music. The drive must be formatted in FAT32 format. There is a limit of 50,000 files per device in the handbook but it doesn’t make it clear if this is a limit of 50,000 files overall or mp3/FLAC files. Sync 3 has support for USB drives but the Ford help pages do not seem to have any mention of maximum storage capacity and playlist formats. I have a large music collection of around 14,000 tracks and I wanted to be able to use this in the car as I had previously done via an iPod Classic in my old Landrover via an Alpine head unit. Our new Ford Focus arrived on Thursday this week and the 2016 model in the United Kingdom is now shipped with Ford's latest Sync 3 multimedia system which has been available in the USA for some time. ![]()
