VLC android playlist export

For this solution, you need adb installed. How to use my file: 1. Create a file with the paths of the music This app does so automatically and would also allow to import playlists (without the music files). But you could also create that file by other means e.g. by hand. Make sure that each file path is on a new line. Spaces are ok.
Example file above. Call that file playlist.txt and store it on your PC next to my batch file. 2. Make sure your phone is ready Connect your android phone through USB with your windows computer and open up a CMD. You may need to enable USB debugging on your phone or unlock the lockscreen and allow access. If your phone is connected, adb devices will list it up. 3. Check the file path If you automatically generated your file, the path may be not the same as adb uses. In my case, adb used /mnt/sdcard while the file contained all paths to the internal sdcard as /storage/emulated/0. /storage/emulated/ existed through adb but the dir 0 did not. In My case, it worked for the external sdcard. So check your path by using adb shell and your usual means of navigating: cd and ls If your path is different than the one adb needs, replace it in the textfile or make use of the SEARCHTEXT REPLACETEXT option in the batch file. If you do not need my option, make sure to replace something with itself. 4. Set your destination folder Edit the batch file and set pathname to your desired destination folder. Make sure it already exists! 5. Testrun Store the batch file in the same directory as playlist.txt and run it. It will ask you to do a testrun. Press y and then Enter to let it display what source paths it will use. it will also check if the destination folder does exist: if it doesn't the writing will turn red. It does not check the source path though, that is your own job. 6. Run Run it again, this time type anything except y. Then press enter. It wil run for real this time, copying the specified files into your destination folder.
