andrewilley Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Are Poweramp playlists stored in separate files (like Windows playlists), or within a database? If a separate file it might be possible to write a simple convertor, but you'd need to know your own folder/file structure fairly well.[Edit: I tried to create a playlist in Poweramp and can't find an associated file of the same name anywhere, so I assume it must be stored in the database]Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I've just been looking into this, and as I never use playlists I'd forgotten that Poweramp supports M3U playlists too, which would solve your problem.If Poweramp finds any M3U files within your music folders during a scan, they will appear as playlists inside the Library>Playlists area.An M3U playlist can be as simple as a plain text file with just a list of filenames in it, each one on a new line. These can be just your basic MP3 filenames (in which case those music files are assumed to be located in the same folder as the M3U file) or include either relative path information (i.e. folders from where you placed the M3U file) or absolute paths.Windows Media Player (spit) playlists are stored as .WPL files, which are an XML-based format. It should be easy enough to edit one to make a simple list of filenames using any old text editor (a quick bit of seach-and-replace will remove the XML stuff) and then save the result to a new name with an .m3u extension. Whether you want to use paths or keep everything in the same folder is up to you (a single folder might be easiest to manage if you need to do this regularly).Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezasif Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 If a playlist(M3U) is in different folder you must import them from Poweramp menu in order playlist to show. After you have imported playlist. They appear as imported playlists. I think putting in same folder is the easiest and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Your M3U playlist file can be anywhere (as long at Poweramp has the location ticked in its Music Folders list) but if you do use a different location then you need to specify the paths for each MP3 file listed (as there is no 'default' folder location configurable in the M3U format).Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Poweramp2 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for the correction Andre, hopefully this helps others until we fix this issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
