m3u playlists in OS X

[kram]

hi all, i'm pretty new to the mac thing after using windows for the last 10-12 years.

i hope this is in the right forum for this sort of query.

i just want a handy way of producing an .m3u playlist file for a given directory. In XP, i used a batch file that printed the filenames of .mp3 files in a directory to a txt document.

i can't find an easy way of doing this, though i am sure that there will be as os x seems to have everything else covered(!)

Thanks in anticipation,

kram.

are you sure nobody knows how this is done?

Do you use iTunes? iTunes can export song lists or playlists as M3U files.

Thanks for the reply - I do use iTunes, and i sort of knew you could do that.

thing is, i have my MP3s in folders according to Album. So there's like 20 mp3 files that need to go into their own m3u playlist - creating a playlist in iTunes for each album just isn't practicable.

Thanks again for your help, though!

If you have 10.4, then Automator might be able to help you out...
