How to import WMP Playlists?

Hi Guys,

I´m really fascinated about Subsonic. It works perfectly!! Good Job!! (I use it with android and pc)

But there is one little problem I have ...

I try to import a wmp playlist, but it doesn´t open when i click load in subsonic/localhost . I saved the playlist as ".m3u" .
So I tried to open the playlist i made with subsonic with wmp (wich actually works) and saved it with wmp (same name / overwrote it),
after this it didn´t work, too.
I opened both playlists (i made two with the same songs, one saved with subsonic and one saved with wmp ; both as ".m3u") with editor/notepad
Subsonic:
Code: Select all
#EXTM3U
C:\Users\MYNAME\Music\8Bit\10800 Zombies Theme.mp3
C:\Users\MYNAME\Music\8Bit\The Super Mario Song.mp3


WMP:
Code: Select all
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,10800 Zombies Theme.mp3
..\Users\MYNAME\Music\8Bit\10800 Zombies Theme.mp3

#EXTINF:0,The Super Mario Song.mp3
..\Users\MYNAME\Music\8Bit\The Super Mario Song.mp3


Is there any possibility to import the wmp playlist without changing the code?
Maybe another playlist format? I tried ".pls" but this didn´t work with both players.

PS: After changing the code wmp read it as normal playlist ... it worked with both players.
PPS: I´m using Windows 7 and i´m admin (in subsonic, too)

This is a relative search path. I'd say the easiest thing to do if you need to import a playlist like this into Subsonic is open it with Notepad, and search/replace ".." with "C:" (in this case).

Playlist Import/Export is on the todo list for being added as a feature in a future release.

Yes i did this thing as i said, but this changing of code is too much work.i mean changing the code for almost 100 songs
Is a big job .
When will the future update for impot\export playlists come?
Maybe i can write some program that changes the code ... Let's see ...

But thanks for your help :D

A decent text editor will do that in one hit "search and replace all" - done

Even Notepad has an automatic search/replace nowadays. Open your WMP playlist, press Ctrl+H, and use the "Replace all" button. You'll have a working playlist within seconds.
