The program will search your media library for the file and update the playlist accordingly when it finds a match. Tell it where you keep your media files, load in the playlist you want to fix, and hit the locate button.

Have you ever spent some time making a playlist, only to have it break when you reorganize your files? listFix() is a Swing application that solves this problem by finding the lost or missing entries in your playlists automatically. I just finished moving one of my playlists to iTunes after using listFix() and it worked like a charm! The music that is related to your playlist has to be in the iTunes library in order for this to be successful. In the new iTunes you can simply drag and drop your M3U file into the library. ListFix() can fix broken M3U files and pair the music files to the playlist wherever they are located. I saved the play list, dragged it into iTunes and it worked perfectly. #EXTINF:154,Rainin' in My Heart - Slim HarpoĬ:\Users\family\Music\Slim Harpo\Slim Harpo - Rainin' in My Heart.mp3Īll I needed to do was to do a search and replace in a text editor on my Winamp list, and add the full "c:" before each file path. While the same one in iTunes looked like this: \Users\Username\Music\Slim Harpo\Slim Harpo - Rainin' in My Heart.mp3 #EXTINF:154,Slim Harpo - Rainin' in My Heart There was one difference.Ī typical path to a song in the Winamp M3U looked like this:

So, I exported an M3U list from iTunes v10.5.3.3 (again.in Windows) to see what iTunes thought a correctly formatted M3U should look like and compared it with a Winamp5.6 generated M3U file. I even had trouble installing M3U2iTunes successfully. None of the answers in this thread so far worked, or perhaps applied to me. My problem was this if I dragged a Winamp generated M3U into iTunes, a blank playlist was generated. The key is to look at the format of an exported m3u from iTunes and then to mimic it. Some of this lesson may be applicable for other situations.

I have a weird setup where I have iTunes and Winamp sharing the same music files. First, let me be clear that this is something I figured out on Windows 7, specifically for getting a Winamp generated M3U file into iTunes.
