M3U (WinAmp) Play List Specification
Winamp playlists are just a text file containing links to the location of the proper file. You can crate or edit a playlist in any text editor. It could be anything to MP3, WMA, or even another playlist. Just because something is in a playlist, doesn't meanWinamp can play it though. Winamp will just skip over unknown file formats. This document will hopefully toy to clarify the differences of the playlist formats available.
Generic M3U file
A list of links to files makes a valid generic playlist. The entry can be relative (i.e. \files\song.mp3) or specific (i.e. c:\media\files\son.mp3). Also, URLs can he inserted to point to a stream or a file on the Internet.
Here are a few sample generic MP3/PLS files:
Alternative\Song.mp3 Classical\New_Song.mp3 crap.mp3 F:\more music\foo_bar.mp3 http://www.site.com:8000/listen.pls http://www.site.com/~user/mine.mp3 |
Extended M3U
Let's first look at an extended M3U file then I will describe everything below#EXTM3U #EXTINF:233,Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow Alternative\everclear_SMFTA.mp3 #EXTINF:227,Weird Al - Everything You Know Is Wrong Comedy\Weird_Al_Everything_You_Know_Is_Wrong.mp3 #EXTINF:187,Weird Al Yankovic - This is the Life Weird_Al_This_Is_The_Life.mp3 #EXTINF:129,Weird Al: Bad Hair Day - Gump http://www.site.com/~user/gump.mp3 #EXTINF:-1,My Cool Stream http://www.site.com:8000/listen.pls |
#EXTINF:233,Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
This is the line that tends to confuse people. Let's break it up into parts
#EXTINF:
This signifies this is an Extended Information field. It ends with a colorn.
233,
This is the time of the file in seconds followed by a comma. (233 seconds = 3:53). On the last entry there is a negative one, this is usually seen on streams, it tells the program to ignore the time entry.
Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
Title to display. This is usually the title read from the file name or ID3 tags. This also can be the name of a stream. No characters follow the title.
Alternative\everclear_SMFTA.mp3: File location as described above with basic playlists.
WinAmp also understands the
PLSv2 play list format. Windows Media Player understands M3U and
ASX play list formats.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended PLS (PLSv2)
This is a simple text file normally named with the .pls extension and read mainly by WinAmp and a few other programs.The Code
[playlist] File1=Alternative\everclear - SMFTA.mp3 Title1=Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow Length1=233 File2=Comedy\Weird Al - Everything You Know Is Wrong.mp3 Title2=Weird Al - Everything You Know Is Wrong Length2=227 File3=Weird Al - This Is The Life.mp3 Title3=Weird Al Yankovic - This is the Life Length3=187 File4=http://www.site.com/~user/gump.mp3 Title4=Weird Al: Bad Hair Day - Gump Length4=129 File5=http://www.site.com:8000/listen.pls Title5=My Cool Stream Length5=-1 NumberOfEntries=5 Version=2 |
File#=: Location of the file in any of the formats described above. This is also case sensitive. Also the # sign after "File" signifies what file number it is. The first file in the playlist is "File1", the second is "File2" and so on.
Title#=: Title to display. This is usually the title read from the file name or ID3 tags. Like the other fields, this is case sensitive. This also can be the name of a stream. Like "File#" the pound sign (#) is replaced by the entry number that is in the
playlist.
Length#=": Length in seconds, this is aloe case sensitive. On the last entry there is a negative one, this is usually seen on streams, it tells the program to ignore the time entry. Like "File#" the pound sign (#) is replaced by the entry number that is
in the playlist.
NumberOfEntries=#: The total number of entries in the playlist. This should match the last number on the "File#", "Title#", and "Length#" fields. Also case sensitive.
Version=2: This required entry near the bottom tells the player what format the PLS is in. Older versions of the PLS format did not include this. Like everything else, it is case sensitive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Media Player Play List (ASX)
This is a simple text file normally named with the .asx extension and read mainly by Window Media Player. It has the look of an HTML file with markup tags. This is in fact an XML database file. If you understand XML, this will be easy enough to read. Ifnot don't worry, the format will be explained
The Code
<ASX VERSION="3.0"> <Author>John Smith</Author> <Title>John's CD Clips</Title> <Copyright>John Smith Publishing Inc.</Copyright> <Abstract>Cafe-Music CD by John Smith and friends</Abstract> <Moreinfo href="http://www.johnsmith.com/" /> <Entry> <Author>John & Jane Smith</Author> <Title>Raging Tango</Title> <Moreinfo href="http://www.johnsmith.com/tango.htm" /> <ref href = "http://www.johnsmith.com/media/Raging_Tango.mp3"/> </Entry> </ASX> |
<ASX VERSION="3.0"> and </ASX>
This must be the outer most element, start on the first line and must be in upper case. The version number identifies the version of the layout format. This number depends on the player you intend on using the play list with. A player that only understands
2.0 play lists will likely ignore a 3.0 playlist. At the end of the file you will fin
4000
d the close tag for this open tag </ASX> which is also in upper case. There can only be one ASX element.
<Author> and </Author> The information within this tag identifies the author of the entire play list.John Smith in our example.
<Copyright> and </Copyright> This identifies the holder of the copyright for the play list.
<Abstract> and </Abstract> Gives a short description about the play list.
<Moreinfo href="some URL goes here" /> has not end tag. Instead it ends with /> instead of the > alone. No end tag is needed because the only data is stored in thehref parameter. This is the URL path to more information on this
play list.
<Entry> and </Entry> This element holds the sub elements that describe individual sound files. There can be many of these elements. Each pair of tags is wrapped around the information for a single song.
<Author> and </Author> The information within this tag identifies the author of this one sound file.John & Jane Smith in our example.
<Title> and </Title> This identifies title of this sound file.
<Moreinfo href="some URL goes here" /> has not end tag. Instead it ends with /> instead of the > alone. No end tag is needed because the only data is stored in thehref parameter. This is the URL path to more information on this
one sound file.
<ref href="some URL goes here" /> has not end tag. Instead it ends with /> instead of the > alone. No end tag is needed because the only data is stored in thehref parameter. This is the URL path to the actual sound file.
Please take notice of the case of the tags. Although tests have shown that Media Player will accept some tags in upper or lower case, it will not accept an opening tag in one case (say upper) and the matching close tag in another case (say lower or mixed).
To ensure your play list works properly it is suggested that you use the case shown in the examples above.
