When you drag a folder with mp3 over the playlist_generate.vbs (the filename of the vbscript), it generates an xml playlist (xspf format) of the folder contents and output it on a filename playlist.xmlIf it is posible, i want to have something in php that will update playlist.xml file so that I will just upload my mp3 and my playlist will be updated by pointing to the php file.Thanks

You could build a regular upload form to upload one or more mp3s where you copy them to whatever folder you want and then open the XML file and add a new entry for each at the bottom. If you want to rearrange the XML file using PHP it would be significantly more complex. You wouldn't be able to just drag and drop, you would need to use a regular upload form.

That is the idea but I don't want to edit the xml manually because we are expecting too much uploads once we started this. So I am looking for a code that will update/recreate the xml file based on the new folder content before the page load the mp3 player.Thanks

There's a script to do that here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-xspf-gen/There are probably others:http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...-8&oe=utf-8
