nquateman Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm trying to be able to hear, and/or download and then play, the samples from Amazon on my Asus Transformer tablet (Android v4.0.3). They're apparently in M3U format, and so won't play. When I try to play a downloaded sample on Power Amp, it ends up playing something altogether different. Is there a way to get Power Amp to play these M3U formatted samples?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 M3U files are playlists only, they don't contain any actual audio data. You only have half of what you need.Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No downloading, no conversion, just click. And, when I look at the underlying URL on the Windows machine, I can see the M3U extension. So, I was hoping there'd be a way that an Android device could do the same. I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 What is the content of the M3U file? It's just text, showing where the actual audio files are located (have a look at it on your PC in Notepad).Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nquateman Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Looking at the content of one of the M3U files, it appears to be a a URL (example below). I tried pasting the URL into a the browser on my Android device (using Dolphin on an Asus Transformer), but that didn't work either. I guess whatever allows the Windows operating system to interpret the location can't be interpreted by the Android operating system, or it's browser, or something.Example of an M3U:http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/media/log_action.mp3/ref=?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0013PFU4W&CustomerID=&TYPE=DigitalMusicSampleStream&URL=http%3A%2F%2Famazonm-982.vo.llnwd.net%2Fs%2Fd6%2F100352%2F100352281%2F204185982_S64.mp3%3Fmarketplace%3D1%26e%3D1358060368%26h%3D2b1f697339ee9c8440fc9f466651fda0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
