Hi Marty, thanks I had to go into folder options and fix the known file types thing in the view menu. I couldn't find the extensions. I don't know how that got turned off or if it was a dell thing from the factory. -- "Marty Rimpau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Gary, you can also open up note

Hi, Gary, you can also open up note pad, and from the file menu choose open, then choose all files from the combo box, navigate to the .m3u file, and tab to open, and press enter, and you can see what a .m3u file looks like. Essentially, all it is, is a .txt file with an url, which points to eithe

Gary! You can use "Open With" or get focus on the file name, press F2 and edit the name just as you would a piece of text in Notepad. So you can change the MP3 to txt. When you're finished editing just tap enter. Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Bat Arhonious Software ! Native Instruments E

Hi Marty. Actually, an m3u file *can* be on your computer, it can be a regular winamp playlist, in addition to a streaming file. So m3u files can be for both streaming and local mp3 files on your computer. Basically it's just a text file that helps Winamp reference a file more quickly. i don't t

Hi, Steve, a .m3u file is a streaming file, in other words, the file it's pointing toward is not on your pc, but on another computer, and you're streaming that file. On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 22:33:06 -0700, stever2525 wrote: >Hi, this is Steve, still learning, I have audio files on my PC with m3u >in

Steve! If you open the M3U with Notepad or some other text editor you'll see that it's a list of titles and paths to MP3 files on your computer. It's a play list. It doesn't mean anything without those MP3s and the paths. Once you put the M3U and MP3s on another machine it probably wouldn'

Hi, this is Steve, still learning, I have audio files on my PC with m3u instead of MP3. What is the difference. They both play with Winamp. Would a m3u file play on a MP3 player? Thank you. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http
