Hi all! I had an add-on for Firefox back in the day called M3U Ripper which allowed me to right-click on an M3U link and "rip playlist contents". It would create a folder for the files, download the MP3's and would automatically label said folder based upon the name of the M3U file.
The add-on doesn't work with Firefox anymore, and I've long ago switched to Chrome.
From what I understand, an M3U is simply a text file containing a list of the direct URL's of the audio files.
How difficult would it be to create a simple extension for Chrome which would allow me to right-click on an M3U stream link and rip its' playlist contents into a folder? Considering I haven't done any programming since the days of QBasic...
I'm willing to learn! Or, if someone wants to just do it for me :) That'd be great, too!

Ok, so I'm told that this isn't possible, because Chrome "doesn't have access to the filesystem." But couldn't it integrate somehow with the download manager? Take all of the download links out of the M3U file and download them all individually?

Here are the contents of one of the M3U links that I'm trying to rip:
http://www.archive.org/download/gd1965-11-01.sbd.bershaw.5417.sbeok.shnf/Acid4_01_vbr.mp3http://www.archive.org/download/gd1965-11-01.sbd.bershaw.5417.sbeok.shnf/Acid4_02_vbr.mp3
They're very basic URL container files. The name of the M3U file is gd1965-11-01.sbd.bershaw.5417.sbeok.shnf.
Now if I could just create a simple extension which downloads the links contained within the M3U file and saves them into a folder automatically labeled as the title of each M3U...
The ID3 tags for the MP3's are well-constructed. Having the extension create the folders according to the %album% tag from the ID3 would be ideal.
I know this can be done. It's just a matter of how...

Here's the contents of one of the M3U files:
If the files can be automatically downloaded into a folder which is labeled as the title of the M3U file itself, that would be okay. The MP3's have well-written ID3 tags, and ideally I'd like the extension to be able to automatically label the folders with the album titles, and the audio files with their song titles based upon the info from their ID3's. The labels for the M3U's and MP3's as they are originally are a bit cryptic and I'd have to rename them all offline (there are several thousand).
They're direct links to the URL of the MP3's.
Here is where the link is located:
Near the top of the page, on the left hand side, is where the link is:

REALLY?! Not a single human being has anything to say about this. Over a year later. Why is it always ME who gets the problems nobody can figure out, or the ideas nobody gets?

We're not here to make extensions for you. You should learn how to program extensions, or use a old version of Firefox that works with M3U Ripper.
Maybe you could adapt a mp3 downloader, like https://github.com/fzakaria/HypeMachine-Extension to your taste (ie changing "MP3" to "M3U"?)
Have a nice day, Joshua.

Very rude and unhelpful. I never asked anyone to do anything for me. I asked for help. I think. If I remember correctly. Not sure I ever asked anyone to do any actual thing for me.
Maybe give me some help on how to do it myself. I love to learn! Thanks?

OH YEAH! Where I said "Now if I could just create a simple extension..."
You read that as "Oh, Please, Dylan! You're so great, with your Web design and photography and other amazing skills! Please do it FOR ME, because you're the best at everything and nobody else can do anything but you, Dylan."

" If someone wants to just do it for me :) "
I'm not here to argue with you. I'm not here for personal attacks, either. I provided you with some helpful information. If you want to learn how to create extensions, Google "how to make Chrome extensions". If. after attempting to do something yourself, you have any queries, hit us up!
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Dylan
