M3u Playlist Creation

AndrewG · 28th March 2007, 19:58

Hey,
I was wondering if there is a way to mofidfy/alter the way that winamp formats the M3U file?
Why? Because I am using the playlists for XBMC and it will use relative or absolute file paths just fine, however.. the relative path that winamp creates begins with "/", and that messes up XBMC.
currently:
/music/current/AFI-Miss Murder.mp3
Need:
music/current/AFI-Miss Murder.mp3
or
C:/music/current/AFI-Miss Murder.mp3

I was hoping there is a way not to have to do the notepad "find-and-replace" method each time I make a playlist.

Thanks

No. Sorry.

Maybe ask the xmbc devs to implement support?
(afaik, the leading backslash is correct)
