- ...With updated version 0.9.4.8 + 2 + 5.
Thanks for pointing that out.

- By the way, where has Akumu's NSF Archive gotten off to these days? Is it down or did it move?

- Moved!

I still hope one day a NES archive that comprehensive will be databased like snesmusic is, so you can display by composer, expansion chip etc.

- Aha! So that's where it is. Thanks for the link.
What would be REALLY nice is a NSF site that includes NEZPlug M3U lists with all of its NSF files. If I remember correctly, there are quite a few HES/KSS sites that include those NEZPlug M3U playlists with all of their files. NSFs should have such a standard. (It beats NSFe.)

- If I understand the M3U format correctly, it would be easier to generate those files than it would be to make RSN M3U files. You'd get no details on the music tracks, but generating M3U files is easy enough with the right details, and can be done in batch with little to no real effort when dealing with NSFs

- It would probably be very easy to write a program that will generate the NEZPlug M3U files automatically. (To a certain extent - tracks can't identify themselves you know.) Sure these M3U files wouldn't have the overall functionality of something like ID3 tags, but it would be a definite improvement over not having any tags at all. The thing that concerns me the most is that NSF is kind of getting left behind by HES/KSS in this respect. However, I *think* that the NES was more popular than both the TurboGrafx and MSX.
It's just an idea. I wonder if a site like Akumu's NSF archive would give consideration to including M3U lists like this.

- Looking for code that scans an entire directory of a specific file type in C...

- But, but, but... the extended M3U playlist that NEZPlug and NSFPlug support can have pretty nifty tag info. I did post my Solstice list with all the data here a while ago.

- It's a shame NEZPlug isn't as sophisticated as other NSF plugins (though it is improving these days.) I have NSF support disabled in it, and instead alternate between using Notso and NSFPlug.
That's the most annoying thing about the format. It is well covered by this point, but it's well covered all over the damn place, in terms of players and soundtracks. It'd be nice to have one great plugin and one great place for soundtracks. Everything is all over the place and it's hard to figure out what's what.

- @Knurek: Actually, I have seen that a lot of M3Us with M3Us on the HES/KSS sites that I was referring to. It is especially nice to have if you are not familiar with the game/composer/etc.
@Lunar: I think that NEZPlug is sophisticated enough. The only thing that I would like for it to have it channel muting, but it would take a little time to implement because it would have to be available for all of the supported file formats.
I do not really see why a site like Akumu's could not begin accepting NEZPlug M3U files for its rips. Akumu's is the most complete NSF archive that I have seen, and including submitted M3Us would just make it more complete than it already is. Sure the M3U files only work with NEZPlug, but, then again, NSFe files only work with Notsofatso. If Akumu's would accpet NEZPlug M3Us, there you would have your one plugin and your one place for soundtracks.
