PlaylistCopy.SB

Most audio files come with the possibility to save the playlist so you don’t add all songs with every playback operation. A playlist is merely a list of strings which contains file paths so the player knows what and where to read from. For better processing, PlaylistCopy.SB allows you to extract files from a playlist and save them to a different location.

Once installed, the application is good to go, unveiling all it has to offer in a compact, intuitive design fitted with clear descriptions of the operation so you don’t get stuck along the way. Needless to say that you need to target an existing playlist since it’s the main input accepted by the application.

You need to rely on the browse dialog to specify both the target playlist file, as well as the output location. Sadly, drag and drop is not a supported operation. Input is pretty flexible and can come in the form of file formats such as M3U and PLS, which are pretty popular playlist type so there’s little to no chance to run into any issues.

Before the process begins there’s the possibility to adjust a few parameters. Files can either be copied together in a single location, or keeping the structure of folders based on the playlist configuration. You can choose to only process MP3 file, and force the application to copy everything until space is filled.

Several details are shown like quantity of files in the playlist, available space in the destination, and space taken up by files. Sadly, there’s no possibility to apply any filters, or select files based on tags. Files are copied, so you might want to remove original items when done, unless you need the playlist.

In conclusion, PlaylistCopy.SB is a straightforward method of copying all files inside a playlist to a new location. Although there is little control over the operation, with no filters to configure, the application processes files fast, and can keep the original directory structure intact.
