How do I create a playlist when ripping to FLAC?

[CDale]

A playlist is not created when ripping an audio CD to FLAC. I don't see a switch to enable\disable playlist creation. What am I missing?

I am using the following software:

Trial version of dBpoweramp Music Converter R12.2
FLAC (1.1.4)

Currently R12 has no playlist options.

Currently R12 has no playlist options.

What version should I use? Is there a utility to create a playlist? What do you recommend?

What is it you want to achieve with the Playlist?
If, for example, you want to maintain the tracks on a CD in the order they appear in your source CD, you can do this by specifying track order before track name in your file naming parameters.
If you want to create some other kind of Playlist, I know you can do this through dBpowerAMP Audio Player's Playlist Editor and I suspect you can do this with several other programs as well. But I am also unsure what player it is that you are planning to use these playlists with and what the specifications are for those playlists. Please note that dAP (dBpowerAMP Audio Player) requires a separate set of codecs (the Legacy Codecs) in a separate folder from r12+ of dBpowerAMP Music Converter.

Best wishes,

xoas, thanks for the reply.

The FLAC audio files will be played on a Roku Soundbridge via Firefly media server. The individual ripped files play fine. The problem occurs when browsing albums (playlists) or playing albums via the Soundbridge. Soundbridge seems to require a playlist to play an album. When I create an .m3u file for the album, I am able to select an album to play. I can rip the same album to FLAC with another product that creates a .m3u playlist and everything works fine. I would rather use DBPoweramp ...

I guess I could follow-up with Firefly \ Soundbridge to see if a playlist is required.

Do you have any suggestions?
