Re: library listings

Dennis your efforts have been much appreciated but I am on the point of
giving up! Just a couple of questions though, the playlists that work for
you are they m3u or wpl? and in your own code as I received it there are some
spaces within the code and some without for example t1=t1 and also t1 = t1 ,
is this correct? although I have messed around and deleted most of the spaces
it doesnt seem to have made any difference - still cant get past line 3 and
yet when line 6 was split over two lines before I edited it , it got to line
6 so presumably it had read ths script past line 3 anyhow
Thanks anyhow
