M3U and M3U8 Export Tool

Copy files denoted in an M3U playlist to any single location

v. 1.0 May 2014

M3U and M3U8 Export Tool is a Windows program designed to solve a step in the chain of actions required to make you a cheap DJ who plays music from a USB stick. It takes a Winamp playlist (or a playlist that you saved in some other, similar music player), finds the music files, and copies them to a single location such as a folder, USB stick, portable device, or network location. The copied files can keep their original form, or alternatively you can add numbers to the beginning of their names.

The input format of the playlist should be M3U or M3U8. It is better to save and use M3U8 format however, because it uses Unicode character encoding required to store filenames in different foreign languages.

If you wish, you can ask the program to create a batch file copy_files.bat in the same folder where the M3U Export Tool is located. This is for administrators who wish under special circumstances to perform the copying using the administrator rights. These rights can be obtained by right-clicking the Command Prompt and selecting Run as administrator. Next, you only need to type in the script name.

To use M3U Export Tool, you need to have Java installed on your computer.
