HOW-TO: Create M3U Playlist file and use it with Media Server on Linkstation Series

[nextbond]

How to create a playlist and use it on the LinkStation

 

1. Map your media directory to your PC/laptop.

2. Create a M3U playlist file using any M3U playlist generator (Sourceforge has some good ones). 

3. Change entries to relative path (e.g if your Media Server directory is Z:\share\media) and assume you have a sub-folder called Music .

 

./Music/song1.mp3

./Music/song2.avi

./Music/song3.mp3

 

(Note: The "." at the beginning of each line indicating relative path)

(Note: You will need to use a text editor to replace the \ path separator with / - since M3U is a Microsoft format )

 

4. Add the following as the FIRST line in your file 

#EXTM3U

 

5. Save the M3U file in Z:\share\media

 

Enjoy your playlist !!
