Personally I have two questions here. 1) What exactly is a m3u playlist file?; 2) How do you create an m3u playlist file? I downloaded an album from Alicia Keys and it contained a m3u file. I was wondering in relation to the first question, can m3u files be played in any media player. My Windows Media Player can certainly play these files, and thou Windows Media Player creates playlists itself, I noticed that the files created are Windows Media Playlist Files and not m3u. Now if m3u files can be played in any media player then I would be happy to create these files myself.
I also am not sure if Windows Media Playlist Files can be played by any other media player. Now I found that you can create m3u playlist files with notepad by typing in the required information and saving it with a.m3u at the end. This is the same case with Cue Sheet files required for.bin files and if so.img files. But anyways I would like to know the LAYOUT for m3u files in notepad. Well I hope anyone can help.

I don’t make M3U’s all that often anymore because I don’t use them. Anyway, here is the script I use: @echo off dir /o:n /b *.mp3 > Playlist.m3u Copy&paste it into Notepad and save as a DOS batch file (e.g.
MakeM3U.bat) I just drop it into the folder of MP3’s I want to list and run it. Then I’d open the.M3U file in Notepad if I want to change the order of the songs.[/QUOTE] Better Adaptation of above Idea.
Copy below content to a notepad file and save as M3u.reg. Double-Click the M3u.reg and click “Yes” for registry updation. Find the option “MakeM3U PlayList” on the right click of ANY folder.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Folder shell MakeM3U PlayList] @=“MakeM3U PlayList” [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Folder shell MakeM3U PlayList command] @=“cmd.exe /k “dir /o:n /b *.mp3 > Playlist.m3u & exit””.
