[How does importing filebased playlists work/why are there almost none of the songs in my playlist?]

I already uninstalled VLC (only installed it because I didn't find the create playlist option in MPC-HC) but yeah, the playlist did have spaces as %20. I remember loading the VLC created playlist in MPC-HC and being unable to play it. And now that I think about it, the 5 songs that Poweramp was able to show all didn't have any spaces in their file path.

Okay, this seems to be a problem with how VLC creates playlists (since the directories on my PC and phone are 100% identical). Using a playlist created with MPC-HC worked.

Since manually managing my playlists is becoming way too tedious I wanted to switch to filebased playlists. The folder structure on my PC and on my phone are identical. To try it I created a small playlist with 51 songs using VLC player. However, when I move the .m3u playlist to my phone the playlist contains only 5 songs. They are from 5 different albums, even from albums from which I've added multiple songs to the list. I've never really worked with filebased playlists before, so am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I've added a screenshot from VLC with the playlist opened. I just dragged all the songs into VLC player and exported the playlist.
