Hi Everyone,

I'm adding import/export playlist support to an application (gmtp), and am pondering on the which playlist format to use for the process. I don't see a point in creating my own format, when quite a few already exist, and also makes importing playlists from other applications a neat feature.

Out of interest, for those that use playlists with their media collection, what format is your playlist stored in?

I personally use M3U, but am interested in what other formats people may be using.

Also is it possible to import/export a playlist out of iTunes to a M3U file? (I know it can do it's own playlist format, which is XML based, but wondering about m3u).

PS. The app is: http://gmtp.sf.net

I am omnipresent
The scripts I use to deal with my music collection generates .m3u and .pls files for me. I almost never remember to use them.
