Advicenators discussion: making an M3U playlist file

An M3U file is a playlist file that plays in all major media players, including windows media player, real player, itunes, and winamp. It is very simple to create an M3U file. Follow these steps:
-go to my computer, then tools>folder options>view tab. UNcheck "hide extensions of known file types". You can change this back after you create the M3U file if you want.
-Open notepad in start>all programs>accessories>notepad
-list the files you want to play, one per line. Here is an example:
C:\windows\system32\oobe\images\title.wma
C:\documents and settings\my music\stuff.mp3
stuff.ogg
things\stuff.ogg
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
The first and second are ABSOLUTE addresses. Just type the normal file names, and they work. The third is a RELATIVE relative this will only work if the stuff.ogg is in the same folder as the M3U file. The fourth is also relative, it will only work if a folder that contains stuff.ogg is in the same folder as the M3U folder. The fifth is a URL; the computer connects to the internet each time you play this song.
-save the notepad somewhere you will remember
-rename the anything.txt file to anything.m3u. Ignore the warning.
-it's done!
