Let me know if it works for you. Both of my samples work for me (with smplayer), exactly as I showed in the indented examples. They play through the list of music files in the file. However, the M3U list just shows a list of file paths in the playlist, while the PLS list shows the song titles in the playlist. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.2-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Sep 8 12:17:59 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
