I. What is MP3 List Maker ?
MP3 List Maker (commonly call MLM) is a software which creates lists of your MP3s (Mpeg 1 Layer 3 Audio Files). Its engine can make Text and Html files. The "Server" Part of MLM can also regularly rebuild the lists and provide links in HTML files to enable direct-download.
MP3 List Maker works with your existing web and/or ftp daemon ! You can publish the HTML files in a selected directory and use a "Base URL" for each links. It has been tested and work with the most used web and ftp servers !

Here is the main interface of MLM ! You can choose a source and a target directory from there. Once selected, just push the "Make The List !" Button.
II.2 The Option Menu
This is the "Listing Options" panel of options menu. You can set the type of listing you want to use. You can also write the date & time at the beginning of the file. The "Open once done" option open with notepad the created list. It doesn't occur when you're using the server module.
The Language panel lets you choosing your language. You can choose English or French (set by default)
This is the "HTML" (also server) Panel. You can set the title of the HTML file (the title of the window when reading by a web browser). In the server frame, you can set the list refresh time. It's useful when a lot of people upload files on your server. The Base URL is the URL which is the root dir of your mp3s. It looks like this :
[(ftp|http)]://([login]:[password]@)[(IP|domain_name.ext)]/[base_dir].
II.3 TaskTray
In order to work as a server, we think it was better to disable the MLM button is the taskbar to but it in the "TaskTray"
