While the same one in iTunes looked like this: \Users\Username\Music\Slim Harpo\Slim Harpo - Rainin' in My Heart.mp3 #EXTINF:154,Slim Harpo - Rainin' in My Heart There was one difference.Ī typical path to a song in the Winamp M3U looked like this: So, I exported an M3U list from iTunes v10.5.3.3 (again.in Windows) to see what iTunes thought a correctly formatted M3U should look like and compared it with a Winamp5.6 generated M3U file. I even had trouble installing M3U2iTunes successfully. None of the answers in this thread so far worked, or perhaps applied to me. My problem was this if I dragged a Winamp generated M3U into iTunes, a blank playlist was generated. The key is to look at the format of an exported m3u from iTunes and then to mimic it. Some of this lesson may be applicable for other situations.
I have a weird setup where I have iTunes and Winamp sharing the same music files. First, let me be clear that this is something I figured out on Windows 7, specifically for getting a Winamp generated M3U file into iTunes.
