Yes, the m3u file format is text-based. An example m3u from an mp3.com radio station that I used to be on before I pulled my songs (Sable Scalpel): ----------start of file---------- http://downloads.mp3.com/AAIBQqOCEQBBa0MKAgGAwARub3JtUAUAAABSQRwCAFEKAAAAUyQ AAABUAQAAAEMpl8E6SflZy.RIe6vacwIKhQr84Q--/heaven_s_open_wide_2000.mp3 http://downloads.mp3.com/AAIBQt1SEgBBa0MKAgGAwARub3JtUAUAAABSQRwCAFEKAAAAUyQ AAABUAgAAAEMpl8E6Hj1PbT_c3t9n6WD4Z4TeqQ--/kikin__it.mp3 http://downloads.mp3.com/AAIBQpCJEQBBa0MKAgGAwARub3JtUAUAAABSQRwCAFEKAAAAUyQ AAABUAwAAAEMpl8E6WgQN2L6YGH.yBYU2d_Jxcw--/bloodworth.mp3 http://downloads.mp3.com/AAIBQvWXEQBBa0MKAgGAwARub3JtUAUAAABSQRwCAFEKAAAAUyQ AAABUBAAAAEMpl8E6kOoZlqWHbTjUkrDwhxtghA--/98_rock_s_noise_in_the_bas.mp3 -------- file continues--------- As you can see, it can be as simple as a list of mp3 file addresses. You can also add explanation, in which case, you want to write the header (#EXTM3U) and then the description line for each track (#EXTINF: <track size, -1 for unknown>, <description/title>) So you get: #EXTM3U #EXTINF: -1, My First Track http://mydomain.com/myfirsttrack.mp3 #EXTINF: -1, My Second Track http://otherdomain.com/othertrack.mp3 Thank you for attending M3U 101. Best, Jonathan << Is it a simple text file then? How are they created and formatted? Can you point me to any resources? Thanks again, Kevin >>
