I bought some audiobooks that install as sepate folders with 12 files in each - making up about 100 files/book.
I'm trying to get panucci to play them in order but all I can seem to do is to manually add file by file to 'add to queue' but I can't see myself doing that for all files.

I also want to be able to skip forward and backwards to files.

Is there a) an easier way to manage files/directories like this in panucci - or b) is there another audio-book player out there?

Note: This is for Diablo OS on an N810.

I've never used the device, but can you make playlists for each set for all of them in one?

In panucci I try to add the directories but get the message 'add file'.
I also can't do a shift-select to at least grab all files in on directory.

Start xterm and cd to the parent directory - the one containing directory1, directory2, etc.

Assuming the files are in mp3 format execute the command:
Code:
ls */*.mp3 > playlist.m3u
This will create a playlist of the whole directory structure in the form
Code:
directory1/file1.mp3
directory1/file2.mp3
...
directory1/file12.mp3
directory2/file1.mp3
directory2/file2.mp3
...
...
You can edit this file in a text editor (vi, leafpad, pygtkeditor, etc) to remove any unwanted lines and reorder the files if needed.

Once completed open this playlist in panucci.

I've never used Linux but I'll find that useful in Windows as well via DOS window using:

dir *.mp3 >playlist.m3u /b

This gives a listing in the format:
file01.mp3
file02.mp3
...
file12.mp3

silvermountain, what would be the advantage of playing the files in panucci over numbering them and selecting sequential play in media player?

I'm not silvermountain, but panucci has the advantage of bookmarking, resuming, and easy skip of a few seconds back/forth within a track, which is good for books and podcasts where you might have missed what someone said.

thanks a lot for your reply, pelago. i'm not sure i would need these functions for audio books, except for resume, but they sound great for narration or music transcription. this may make my regular mp3 player finally totally obsolete. i'll check out panucci.
