In the exported m3u8 file it looks like this: You can even use the 'two dots' ('./') modifier to go up to a parent folder within a path line if you want to keep all your Playlist files in one folder rather than your music's root folder. You could try changing the playlist filename to M3U instead of M3U8 (probably won't make a difference though, the contents are still the same).įor most of the playlists that I want to swap between devices, I use relative paths rather than absolute ones. This means that the info defining the files is based from starting at the current directory where the playlist file is stored, rather than giving a full reference to the drive name and any top level folders.
Might be worth changing the Linux style path separators ( '/' ) to Windows standard '\' too, but many programs cope with either. Poweramp will try to resolve mismatches when importing (it looks at the filenames and their containing folders, and tries to match those with its scanned music database) but I don't know if other programs do the same or are more strict about their path matching. They work fine for me in Windows Media Player, VLC, Foobar2000, Zoom Platyer.Īs you say, the paths may be an issue though, Your music needs to be in the exact same directory structure on both devices for them to work seamlessly.
