MML Player will create playlists based on M3U files with “.m3u”
extension located in folder “[ROOT]/multimedialinq/m3u/”. MML Player
accepts playlist's file name as playlist's name (up to 41 characters*).
MML player supports up to 999 playlists (“.m3u files”) and up to 999
media files per playlist file. "m3u" files use the UTF8 encoding.
NEW:
MML Player will create list of ARTISTS based on M3U files with
“.m3u” extension located in folder “[ROOT]/multimedialinq/m3u.Artist/”.
NEW:
MML Player will create list of ALBUMS based on M3U files with
“.m3u” extension located in folder “[ROOT]/multimedialinq/m3u.Album/”.
An M3U file is a plain text file that contains the locations of one or more
media files that the MML Player should include in a playlist. Each
location is placed on a new line. The locations should be absolute “UNIX
style” path names (e.g., “/multimedialinq/music/PL1/song1.mp3”) or
“Windows style” path names (e.g.,
“\multimedialinq\music\PL1\song1.mp3”). M3U file also can contain
comments prefaced by the "#" character.
Media file can be located anywhere on the same disc where the M3U file
is located, but recommended to organize your media files in such a way
that the pathnames are as short as possible.

WARNING
!
*MML player accepts playlist's file name as playlist's name. Playlist's file name can contain up to 41 characters plus
file extension, but will only display 26 characters due to radio limitation. (Some Radios can only support 16
characters).
Make sure to create unique playlist file names to be able to recognize your playlists during browsing.
You must use UTF-8 encoding. Line length for M3U file CAN NOT exceed 255 UTF-8 symbols.
To create M3U files we recommend using third party software such as
“ADVANCED MP3 CATALOG“ (http://www.wizetech.com)
“WINAMP” player (http://www.winamp.com)
and etc.
Make sure to use UTF-8 encoding when creating M3U files. The file extension must be M3U and not M3U8.
