(*) In fact a little program I knocked up a while ago, which is better about ASX playlists and about tracks which exist both as FLAC and MP3 -- but the moral equivalent of mp3tofid.


mp3tofid indeed does not import playlists from files, but it does handle tracks which exist in multiple formats.

mp3tofid --help (in v4 and newer) suggests
--preferred-codec=codec[,codec]

for example, --preferred-codec=flac,ogg means: if a file exists in multiple formats, then use the preferred format (order is significant) and ignore others

If only mt-daapd and mpd had this option ...
