create a playlist

Playlist as you know is the organized/sequential playing of a video or audio track.
for a music lover playlist are someone their girlfriend(s)/boyfriend(s).
This blog will help two major groups of people.
    • The extreme music lovers.
    • One who uses their computers as a media players only.
  1. The GEEKS.(who reads this kinds of posts,to either kill there time or to tighten there grip over the computing world)
It's so because In this post you'll learn how to create a easy to make universal playlist.(here universal playlist means the playlist which works with most of the media players out there.neglecting some exceptions,because exceptions are every where.)
To create a universal playlist you have to fulfill all these needs
  • A computer with working electricity supply
  • Internet connection to read this post.
  • Media files
  • Media player
  • Notepad or similar kind of text editor.
  • and the most important A BRAIN
All ok, lets do it...
  • Open notepad
  • Type the location of the file/files,it can be any music or video file.
  • Hit enter and type the location of second file.
  • Hit enter and type the loca..... until you're done adding the files
  • Then Save it as "anything.m3u" to a desired loaction. All done
HERE IS A TIP: If you are saving the ".m3u" file in the directory where your media files are then you don't need to type the whole location i.e,if your media is on "E:\something\otherthing\media\" directory and you're saving the ".m3u" file in same directory then you can just write "song.mp3" and "video.mp4",you don't have to type "E:\something\otherthing\media\song.mp3",but if you're the playlist in your desktop then you have to type the whole "E:\something\otherthing\media\song.mp3" to get the things working. ANOTHER TIP:You can also create a text file then type whole of the shit and changing the extensions to .m3u.


 Here comes The GEEKY WAY:Beware,non-geekers trespass this line and you will loose your mental stability
  • Open the command prompt ("no smiles please")
  • Type E: if you want to move to the E:\ drive
  • Type "cd something\otherthing\media\" or the directory you want to save the playlist to.
  • Type "(echo 1st_filename.mp3&echo 2nd_filename.mp3 &echo nth_filename.mp3) >playlist.m3u"
This geeky way is not for the linuxers because linux jumbles the order.People (like me) with dual boot pc's with windows and linux should have to make to separte playlist if they are not saving it in the directory where the files are.
Well there is a SUPER GEEKY WAY to do the job but i'm skipping it for the sake of the humanity.
Ok then enjoy,will be back with something new..soon...
Till then LIVE,BREATHE,and BLOG ;)
