One common use of the M3U file format is creating a single-entry playlist file pointing to a stream on the Internet. M3U is a computer file format for a multimedia playlist. 😉Īs the generated playlists only include filenames without any path, and they are located with the media files, they can be moved together with the files, as an example, for portable mp3 player usage. The initial tool for this task for me was a batch file. m3u is nothing more than a text file with a list of file names per line. The generated playlists do not contain EXTM3U information because a simple. It will not replace already existing playlists of that name. m3u file is created named after that folder.
M3U Dropper is a simple useful program that can serve a useful purpose or two.Drag & drop files or folders to create. M3U Dropper also generates a config file, with the *.m3udrop file extension, with such settings as ‘always_on_top=FALSE’. This is convenient when carrying a list from one computer to another and needing to accomodate for any differences in file paths. For example it is also possible to manipulate, edit or change sections of any folder path using M3U Dropper’s replace features (see the Misc menu).
Since the playlist format is essentially a text file it is possible to make text operations on any whole list or on individual entries. The order of items can be changed via the Item menu, selections can be checked, unchecked and sorted in various ways. For example one of the latest changes or tweaks to the program is that while the program used to start with the first item at the top of the (play) list it now does so with the previously visible (last time the program was exited) top item. By Dragging and dropping any file (or folder) one can create and keep a launch or playlist file and use M3U Dropper as a portable launcher.Įric, the author, develops actively. M3U Dropper not only creates the text based music playlist format (M3U) but does not restrict itself to media files. M3U Dropper is an open source offering from the maker of dirhtml.
