m3u verifier?

I've had great response and suggestions from a couple of you guys.... Beta 3 is in the works and I'm including most, if not all, suggestions you guys have had...  Some of them will be a bit harder to code, but I'll make my best attempt.

I tell ya, this is the most in-depth program I've ever made just to deal with playlists

wow... wasn't expecting this sort of thread to develop!  that's great that you're working on a program to do just that.  I would say all the more complicated stuff is great- but I think the most common use for those who have lots of mp3 albums would just be for your program to check each m3u and if there are any broken  links simply create another, or create on if there isn't one there already.  And if there's no way to put the tracks in order (no id3 for track # or no file #) a popup message or some sort of notice would be nice. In fact your original program would probably do the trick.

Many thanks to the beta testers (konstantinos, drumliner, Digga) for their input and bug reports.

Well many thanks to z0rk for making this app we can all make good use of and for listening to our suggestions/requests about it . Sorry if I wasn't active in the testing in this last few days before you released it publicly, as I was away from my computer.

Sorry, this is the 1st time I've seen this topic.
I use NTFS on all of my systems and Have a bit of experience at finding problems (I mean breaking things ) I've got some stuff going on but I'll be more then happy to do a bit of testing on future revisions. I do a bit of Perl programming btw. 

I'm not sure if you've already done this or not but have you considered checking for write protection to accommodate that in any way? I personally always make my rip read-only as soon as I've finished tagging fixing cue's etc. and I’m sure others do as well.

And also thank you for offering your talents to someone who may of otherwise gone with out an ideal solution. Mankind salute's you. hehe

There are no operations on the mp3 files themselves, so if they are read only it won't make a difference.  If a playlist file is read only it wouldn't interfer with verifying the playlist or deleting it.

Btw, there is a nice WinAmp2 "General" plugin named "Reproduction Control", which has some very nice features, among these there is an option which automaticly removes "dead" files from WinAmp's playlist. You can try it.
