    @sdetweil ok I will try and explain the “better” method:

    I’m basically trying to add a playlist feature to the MP3 player module I’m working on. My initial setup involved adding a songList to MP3Player.js, which lists all the songs—.mp3 files—in the ‘music’ folder of the module. I’ve also added a second folder, ‘music2’, to categorize songs by artist. Each artist’s name is tagged with an ‘h2’ in the CSS, for both songList and songList2.

    However, this setup becomes cumbersome because it requires repeating the process for multiple artists, creating many folders and modifying the code each time for songList3, songList4, etc.

    I thought a better approach would be to have one ‘music’ folder with subfolders for each artist containing their songs. This way, the module would display artists on the frontend, and clicking an artist’s name would show the songs in their folder.

    I did start on this more streamlined method, but it proved challenging, so I reverted to the simpler, original method which we’ve been discussing since yesterday, as that uses a “single” songList displaying songs from the ‘music’ folder and has been working for me. So I have been trying to add another “songList2” to add more artists and their respective music.

    I hope that makes sense?

      @bachoo786 ok. I saw the song list 2 and 3, and said
      these should be arrays of songlist[][]
      but now that u add by artist it would be a hash of hashes
      songlist{artist{album}{song}}

      so you could access it with
      songlist[“artistname”][“album1”][song1"]

      or
      songlist[song_info]
      where song_info is a structure
      { artist_name:“…”, albums[{name:“…”, songs:[{…}]]}

        @sdetweil sorry to mess with your head but I have been working on this for the last 3 hours and have come up with the following that should show the folders on the front end and when any folder is clicked it should reveal the mp3 files. the issue I am facing is that I am having no errors whatsoever but the module will just not show on the front end. I am pulling my hair out now !

        these are my files:

        node_helper.js:

        var NodeHelper = require('node_helper');
        const Fs = require('fs');
        
        module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
            start: function() {
                console.log("Loaded MP3Player node_helper");
            },
        
            socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
                var self = this;
                if (notification === 'SOURCE_MUSIC') {
                    const musicPath = payload.musicPath;
                    const extensions = payload.extensions;
        
                    Fs.readdir(musicPath, (err, folders) => {
                        if (err) {
                            console.error("Error reading music directory:", err);
                            self.sendSocketNotification('ERROR', {message: "Error reading music directory"});
                        } else {
                            const musicData = folders.map(folder => ({
                                folderName: folder,
                                songs: Fs.readdirSync(`${musicPath}/${folder}`).filter(file => self.checkExt(file, extensions))
                            }));
                            self.sendSocketNotification("RETURNED_MUSIC", { musicData: musicData }); 
                        }
                    });
                }
            },
        
            checkExt: function(file, ext) {
                return ext.some(extension => file.toLowerCase().endsWith(extension)); 
            }
        });

        in my config.js:

        I have added it this way:

        {
            module: "MMM-MP3Player",
            position: "bottom_center",
            "pages": {"Audio": "bottom_center"},
        			config: {
        				musicPath: "modules/MMM-MP3Player/music", 
        				autoPlay: false,
        				random: false,
        				loopList: false,
        			}
        },
        

        Can you tell me what am I doing wrong? thanks

                @bachoo786 well, code and data don’t match

                config.js

                        musicPath: "modules/MMM-MP3Player/music",
                

                defaults

                    musicPath: "modules/MMM-MP3Player/music",
                

                getDom()

                    if (MP3.config.musicData) { (and other places) 
                

                if you use the developers window you can step thru the code

                    @bachoo786 you don’t set

                    if (MP3.config.musicData) {  anywhere..  so getDom() returns an empty div
                    

                    I ‘assume’ you meant for the node_helper to send this back

                    but yours socketNotifcationReceived does this

                        if(notification === "RETURNED_MUSIC")
                          MP3.config.songs = payload.songs;  <---  songs is undefined, but musicData is there

                      @sdetweil so I made a mistake, i wanted my code to look for the mp3 files automatically in the folders within the music directory.

                      currently I am getting an error in the developer console:

                      Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ',' (at MMM-MP3Player.js:184:2)
                      

                      its the “,” at the end of

                      return wrapper
                      

                      I am trying to have one ‘music’ folder with subfolders for each artist containing their songs. This way, the module would display artists on the frontend, and clicking an artist’s name would show the songs in their folder, and click on the song would then play the mp3 file.

                      feel like giving up really even though I think I am close
