I recently got myself a Sansa Clip+. Not only does it support FLAC and ReplayGain out of the box, the thing is tiny and can take a 16GB microSD card. Only problem: no support in everyone's favorite music player for syncing to non-iPod devices! So, I fixed that.
Find enclosed one (1) (uno) script, quickly hacked together, to sync files from any one playlist in foobar2000 to a device. This script requires [a href=\'index.php?showtopic=39946\']foo_comserver2[/a] to be installed, along with Python itself. If the Python example that comes with foo_comserver2 works, so will this script.
VERY IMPORTANT: Before you use this, you will need to change three things in the script to suit your setup!
1. playlist_to_sync: add the full name of the playlist or autoplaylist you wish to sync here, between the quotes.
2. base_dir: replace 'E:\\Music\\FLAC\\' with the full path of where your files are located. For example, my files are in E:\Music\FLAC\%album artist%\%album%\etc. Be sure to double-up your backslashes here, otherwise this will not work.
3. target_dir: again, replace 'G:\\MUSIC\\' with where you want your files to wind up. My Sansa's microSD slot shows up at G:\, hence what I have filled in here.
Once run, the script polls foobar2000 for the full path of each track on the named playlist. It then steps through the list of paths, to see if a matching file exists on the target; if it does, and it's the same file, it continues gracefully. Otherwise, it copies the file to the target.
Note: this script does not have a GUI, because I simply don't care enough to make one right now. Maybe later. If you want to, feel free. Run this script in a command prompt. (ie. 'python sync.py' or similar)
I assign all rights to this little hackjob to the community that's made listening to music on Windows so much more fun. Keep up the good work, everyone.
