created .m3u file format options / variations

[rondaley3564]

Hi All,
Background
I have tried a number of applications including SoundJuicer, Foobar2000, VLC, Mp3tag, PlaylistCreater, and others however; I feel that freac is a better fit for my purposes. The GUI interface is clearer, and more comprehensive than other applications. In my case I convert CDs and LPs to .wav and .m3u files for use on my home webserver networked html / javascript browser based player. This approach uses the standard browser rather than having to install a third-party application player. This environment works well; however, the Playlist .m3u file content is causing extra manual hand-editing before it can be used effectively.

I would appreciate assistance or pointers regarding the following:

1. Cover Art

I have found that assigning a cover art image only creates a subdirectory and a duplicate image in the Output Folder. Is there any way of preventing this particularly when the image already exists in the Output Folder?

2. PlayList .m3u Missing Tags

When creating a Playlist there are a number of #EXTM3U tags that seem to be missing including:
#EXTART: (Artist)
#EXTALB: (Album)
#EXTIMG: (Image)
#EXT-X-ENDLIST (End of List Tag)
Are there selectable options available to include these missing tags? If these are selectable, are they automatically populated during processing?

3. #EXTINF: information format

Current processing creates a Playlist with the following example .m3u content:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:199,Billy Joel - Running On Ice
01 Running On Ice.wav
#EXTINF:302,Billy Joel - This Is The Time
02 This Is The Time.wav
#EXTINF:301,Billy Joel - Getting Closer
09 Getting Closer.wav

Are there options available to:
A. Add a track number in front of the title on the first #EXTINF: line as appears in the filename on the line below it?
B. Allow the inclusion of a URL Path prior to the filename.ext on the second line?
C. Allow inclusion of a URL Path and image filename.ext in the #EXTIMG: tag?
D. Include the #EXT-X-ENDLIST end of list tag in creation of the playlist m3u file contents?

The Hand-Modified Result of the above example I am trying to achieve ( amendments in Bold ):
#EXTM3U
#EXTART:Billy Joel
#EXTALB:The Bridge
#EXTIMG:(http://URL Path/)front.jpg
#EXTINF:199,Billy Joel - 01 Running On Ice
**(http://URL Path/)**01 Running On Ice.wav
#EXTINF:302,Billy Joel - 02 This Is The Time
**(http://URL Path/)**02 This Is The Time.wav
#EXTINF:301,Billy Joel - 09 Getting Closer
**(http://URL Path/)**09 Getting Closer.wav
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

Your assistance in providing information / direction to address the above matters would be appreciated as this will save me over 1,000 hours of hand-modification of the .m3u files.
Thank you in advance of any assistance / direction.
