Playlist Format
The Playlist format is simple. Each playlist filename is in the format name.m3u. Within each Playlist are lines noting the location of all music files for that playlist:
<path to music file> <path to music file> <path to music file>
Example: peace.m3u:
../music/peace1.ogg ../music/peace2.ogg ../music/peace4.ogg ../music/peace5.ogg ../music/peace6.ogg ../music/peace5_p.ogg ../music/peace6_p.ogg
Step by Step Process
- Obtain your audio files and ensure they are in a usable format;
- Copy them to the music directory of Vega Strike (i.e .../vegastrike/music/). If you place them elsewhere you just need more detail in the entries of the playlist;
- Edit the playlists to point to your files. The playlists may be located in the .vegastrike directory in your home directory, or in the .vegastrike subdirectory within your vegastrike data directory (e.g. /usr/share/vegastrike/.vegastrike).
When the music of that playlist is called for, it will then choose from your new music selection!.
