FAPG is a tool to generate list of audio files (WAV, MP3, Ogg, etc.) in various formats (M3U, PLS, HTML, etc). It is very useful for quickly creating a playlist of a large number of audio files.

It is coded in C to be as fast as possible, and does not use any specific audio library (like ID3Lib).
This allow you to deploy it faster and easier, and to have better performances since the less informations are loaded.
In the other hand, this tool is not (yet) compatible with all the known formats.

Here are some examples for usage :

Generate a PLS playlist for an album :
fapg --format=pls --output=~/path/to/album/list.pls ~/path/to/album

You have a file server using Samba which shares a large amount of audio files for Windows powered computers using Winamp.
The directory on the server containing the files is "/samba/mp3" and is visible on the Windows network as "serveurmp3" :
fapg --backslash --output=/samba/mp3/list.m3u --prefix='servermp3' --recursive --windows /samba/mp3

An HTML playlist for an album :
fapg --output=fapg.html ~/path/to/album
Here is the result : fapg.html
