How to import .m3u playlist exported from Windows
I exported my my iTunes playlists to .m3u files before I got rid of Windows 7 completely.
Now I would like to import the playlists into Rhythmbox, but can't. My playlists contain Windows file names (e.g. D:\music....) instead of Linux file names (e.g. /mnt/music....).
The music is still stored on the exact same disk and folder as it was under Windows.
I need a script to convert the file names, can anyone help?
Ok, thanks Jos. I had a good look at the file and it is as simple as a find and replace in the original .m3u file.
Edit the .m3u file with a text editor, e.g.,
gedit
Replace the first part of each music file in the playlist file, e.g.,
D:\music
, with/mnt/music
.Replace the remaining
\
with/
.Save the file.
In Rhythmbox, click the plus sign (+) below Playlists and navigate to the edited .m34 file(s).
