How do you export a playlist in Groove Music?

Groove Music seems doesn't appear to be able to save playlists it creates with your Microsoft Account as .wpl files for archive/sharing though it's able to read and play playlists that are stored as .wpl files.

How do you export an online playlist as a .wpl file?


Solution 1:

Groove can add songs to existing playlists including .wpl playlists. So, if you create an empty .wpl file as a text file and save it in Groove's music directory you can add all of the songs from the playlist you're attempting to export and copy the file.

Create a text file with the content below and rename it to Export.wpl (or any other .wpl name you'd like):

<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
      <author/>
      <title>Export</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <seq>
        </seq>
    </body>
</smil>

The title is "Export" by default but this can be changed either by editing the file or renaming it in Groove Music or another music app that can edit .wpl files.

You can also manually edit the .wpl file as a text file if you'd like at any time (including after it's been populated with your selected music).
