[Abcde-users] FW: Abcde and aiff

[Dry Martini Holding Company]

Hello all,

The music files that work, were created with XLD for Mac, and it also 
includes a text log file. I am wondering if that is what is being read 
by the music server.


I see that there is a -m switch for Abcde, that creates DOS based 
playlists. I have tried this but I do not see any playlist file. Where 
does this get stored?


Thank you,


Robert
