How do I play Winamp m3u playlists?

Asked by jenningsthecat

I am trying to use playlists generated by Winamp. I have opened one of the m3u files with a text editor, and the paths to the music files seem to be correct. When I either double-click on an m3u file or drag it onto the song list pane, nothing appears in the song list and no songs are played. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? (I am using DAP version 1.02, in 'Full' mode, and am using the file browser inside DAP). Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oops! I found my problem. Because the playlists were generated under Windows, they use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Now, does anyone know of a script that will automatically edit my 60 or so playlists to replace "\" with "/" ? Thanks!
