I want to use the Batch Converter to select files from a library to include in a playlist. What "Converting to:" (codec) can I choose that does the absolute least amount of work while actually creating the specified playlist?

When I choose a collection of FLAC files for conversion for one of my music players, I select because I want those files in Vorbis or MP3 format for the target player. A playlist in that context seems illogical -- populating a player library vs group to play together.

I tried the [Audio Info] option with the Playlist Writer DSP but no file was created.
I tried the Test Conversion option with that DSP and a playlist was created, however it took over 5 minutes to create a playlist for 66 tracks.

It is a _huge_ benefit to be able to use the File Selector to choose folders and/or files for inclusion in a playlist, whether those files are in the FLAC library and don't need conversion, or already in a Vorbis or MP3 library on a player. What is the minimum required (in terms of processing time and power) to invoke the Playlist Writer DSP?

It is not designed for what you are using, you might be better investigating some 3rd party playlist writer.
