Pretty cool. I'll link to this in my next FAQ update. =)

> wmp9convert.wsf
> ---------------
> A script for converting (arbitrary subfolders of) your WMP9 music
> library to a specified WMA format using WME9. The script avoids
> overwriting/re-converting existing folders if they are newer than the
> source, and can synchronize the destination folder (by deleting any
> unrecognized files it finds).  It also converts playlists.

> It is useful if you want to easily convert your music collection (in

>
> wmp9export.wsf
> --------------
> A script for exporting the contents of the WMP9 Media Library to a
> text file of tab separated values. This can then be loaded into Excel,
> Access or another tool and manipulated for generation of reports, etc.
>
> It is useful if you want to get info out of the WMP9 Media Library to
> manage/report on elsewhere.  Trivial to tweak to export to another

>
> wmp9toc.wsf
> -----------
> A script for generating TOC files for a Turtle Beach / Voyetra
> AudioTron using the WMP9 Media Library instead of by crawling music
> folders. It is far faster and allows tags to be fixed up for the AT,
> making it friendlier (rearranging "a", "an" and "the", handling
> multiple artists/genres).
>
> It is useful if you have an AudioTron and want it to load your music
> collection quickly at startup and want control over what gets sent.
> This is another script it would be trivial to tweak further.
>
> wma9convert.wsf
> ---------------
> A script for converting audio files to WMA format.  It can be used for
> ripping CDs using Exact Audio Copy (EAC), the (free) best tool for
> ripping perfect copies of CDs.  (It can be used to set up one-touch
> ripping from CD to WMP9 Media Library.)
>
> It is useful if you ever get pops/ticks when ripping CDs with WMP9 and
> want perfect WMA copies (at any bitrate/quality of your choosing).

>
> wpl9convert.wsf
> ---------------
> A script for converting any playlist readable by WMP9 to either WPL,
> M3U or ASX format.
>
> It is useful if you need to manually convert a playlist to a different
> format (e.g. for a portable music player).
