Creating a m3u or playlist file is very simple. All that is required is a few mp3 files and notepad or any text editor.

Place all the mp3 files in the same folder. Right click on a blank space and point your cursor at 'New' and then 'Text Document' then click to create a new text file.

Open this new text file and reduce the size of it and the folder with the mp3 files so that you can see both of them on your desktop.

In the mp3 folder choose the track you want first in the playlist and click twice (not double click!!!) on it's name to highlight it.

Right click on the highlighted name and select 'copy'

Move the cursor to an empty space in the the new text file, right click and select paste.

This will create the first entry in the playlist.

Repeat this procedure with the other tracks to create the full playlist.

When you have copied and pasted all the tracks, select 'save as' from the file menu and change the extention from '.txt' to '.m3u'
