Hi, This enhances our emacs-emms package so that it can retrieve the metadata from FLAC and MP3 files. It also references GNU find explicitly. Here's how I tested it: 1. Backup (rename) any existing ~/.emacs.d/emms directory to get rid of any cached playlist. 2. Make sure you have a collections of a few FLAC, Ogg and MP3 files under ~/Music. 3. Add the following config to your .emacs file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;;; EMMS (require 'emms-info-metaflac) (require 'emms-setup) (emms-all) (emms-default-players) (add-to-list 'emms-info-functions #'emms-info-metaflac) (setq emms-source-file-directory-tree-function #'emms-source-file-directory-tree-find) (setq emms-source-file-default-directory "~/Music/") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 4. With the patch applied, run: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ./pre-inst-env guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs emacs-emms emacs --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 5. Create the playlist from your default music directory: M-x emms-add-directory-tree RET ~/Music RET 6. Finally, lauch EMMS with M-x emms and observe that the playlist was correctly generated based on the files' metadata. Thank you, Maxim
