Navidrome - Create playlist from songs in directory on Linux

Link to the THM room

Navidrome is exclusively tag based and does not plan to add any folder view as of 2021.

The easiest way to convert songs in a directory to a playlist is to change to the directory and run the following command: ls > name-of-playlist.m3u This adds all filenames to a file that is being interpreted as a playlist. After scanning the lib again, Navidrome should show the playlist.

That does not scale and must be re-run after adding files. Working on a script to automate it.
