How do I edit m3u playlists from MM or iTunes so they work?

[DigitalGuru]

When I make a playlist iTunes or MediaMonkey, the playlists show up in Subsonic players, but the songs don't show up in Subsonic players. When I create a playlist using the SubAir player they show up. When I opened both of the m3u files in wordpad, I noticed that the file created by SubAir has the whole file path listed (eg. D:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\artist\album\track) and when I create playlists using either MM or iT it only shows the path from the My Music folder (eg. iTunes\iTunes Music\artist\album\track). How can I make the playlists created in iTunes or MM show the whole path? Or how can I make Subsonic read playlists that don't have the whole path?

If it's simply a matter of a syntax issue, you should be able to open the playlist file in Notepad (or notepad++ might make it easier) and do a batch replace.

For instance, tell Notepad to replace all instances of "iTunes\iTunes Music\" with "D:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\". Tweak that so the new syntax matches the SubAir playlist syntax, then drop it in and give it a try.

I have never done that before, but I don't see why it wouldn't do the trick. Either way if it doesn't work, it's something you can try quick that might resolve your issue.

Awesome! It worked. Now I just have to remember to do that after editing the playlist. Thanks.
