Use your Windows Media Player playlist in Foobar 2000

We have several playlist saved for windows media player and I was just wondering how to use these playlist in Foobar 2000 and I found the solution. You have to save the playlist as M3U Playlist. To do this follow the directions below.

By default, playlists in Windows Media Player 9 Series or later are saved as Windows Media playlists with a .wpl file name extension. However, you can save a Windows Media playlist as an M3U playlist with a .m3u file name extension by doing the following:

1. Click Library.

2. In the Contents pane (the left pane), expand the My Playlists category, and then click a playlist.

3. On the File menu, click Save Now Playing List As (Save Playlist As in Windows Media Player 9 - 11 Series), click Save as type, and then click M3U Playlist(*.m3u).

4. In the File name box, type a file name for the M3U playlist, and then click Save.


Go into Foobar 2000 and open the M3U playlist. :)
