Send Winamp Playlists to WMP

[TheRetroSpect]

Okay, so I was looking at the Winamp Playlist Exporter by Gabriel Flores Here, and I realized that all she was doing was copying the M3U8 files into a different folder and renaming them.

These playlists were working fine for me in Winamp, but not in WMP. I found that the M3U8 files have an extra 3 bytes at the beginning of them, whereas when Winamp saves M3U playlists through the GUI interface, these 3 bytes are not there. Essentially, besides replacing some characters by '?'s, the playlists were exactly the same though. So, I modified Gabriel Flores code with a different copying algorithm, by Mark Schweikert of Programmer's Corner, and used an offset of 3 for my file copying. I also modified her code so it would output the playlists inside "My Music\Playlists\WinampPlaylists" so they would all show up when I open WMP.

This has saved me an immense amount of time, since I have loads and loads of playlists in Winamp that I'd really prefer to be in both media players.

I hope this comes in handy.

Compiled executable and source code can be found Here.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I only have experience with C++ : this is my first time working with C# code.
