where is m3u file after ripping?
 

I read FAQs and did lots of combination searches for m3u and rip[ping], but could not find the answer.

In the ripping options, I have checked to create both a library file and an m3u file.

I assumed this meant that each time I rip, an m3u file is created and stuffed either in the ripping subdirectory or one level higher. However, I cannot find any m3u files created after ripping anywhere on the hard drive.

I would very much like an m3u file for each album ripped. Is this possible, and what have I done incorrectly?

Thanks much!

Steve

oops--I'm using 5.1 pro
 

forgot to mention I'm using 5.1 pro...

Did you set the parameters (path & filename)?

Prefs -> CD Ripping -> Playlist Generation:

eg.
<Artist>\<Album>\Playlist\<Artist> - <Album>

Example playlist filename:
U2\The Joshua Tree\Playlist\U2 - The Joshua Tree.m3u

It should be wherever you specify.
Works perfectly fine for me anyway...

Thanks for the reply. I cannot get this to work. FWIW, I'm running on XP Pro.

Here's my setup:

Prefs -> CD Ripping --> Output File Setup

destination:
C:\Documents and Settings\Steve West\My Documents\My Music\winamp_mp3s

naming:
<Artist>\<Album>\<Title>

Prefs -> CD Ripping -> Playlist Generation:
<Artist>\<Album>\<Artist> - <Album>

The mp3 files show up as expected, but there is no m3u file

probable m3u creation bug in 5.01 pro
 

Hi DJ Egg,

I did some more looking into this failure to create an m3u list from the CD burn, and I think I've found a bug in 5.01 pro.

If I rip every song from the album, an m3u list is created.

If I rip "selected tracks", no m3u list is created (or pls list for that matter).
