what software to use to open a .m3u file?

hello, does anyone know what softwares or programs do i need to open a .m3u file?

 

Assuming you have Windows OS, you can try iTunes, Winamp or RealPlayer...

 

tried but cant. i sthere any other alternatives?
thanks

 

I honestly don't know why they wouldn't open. Are these m3u files located in your storage or are they URLs?

 

i've downloaded them and stored into a folder

 

Try VideoLAN vlc player. dL it, install, and double click on .m3u file. Associate program with file. About the best d@mn media player sw out there.

don't use Windows Media Player. It's evil. and so is Bill Gates

 

Wait for it.. Isn't an m3u file a playlist file??? Seem to remember that it is as I can edit them with a text editor....

unless you have the files (mp3) that it lists there isn't anything to open and play..

The Cardigans - Life.m3u

So there it is.. you can load them into a media player, as long as they refer to audio files in the same folder.. but to open them in the traditional sense you need a text editor.

mentioned Winamp.. free and a classic. new anniversary edition out now.
