Hi Folks!
There is a little program called Filelist, which, in addition to
renaming files, adding/deleting characters from folders/files' names,
etc, will also generate music playlists, and even create
"Playtainers". The program is VO-friendly, although many of the
buttons aren't labeled, however, they do have help tags.
As to programs which will play .M3U files, I believe the Cog
application will also work. In fact, the playlists which it creates,
itself, are in the .M3U format.
If memory serves, both Cog and Filelist, should have listings on the
VoiceOver Compatibility List.
HTH?

If the m3u files are using paths starting from where they are (I.E.
the m3u file is in the jazz folder, and only plays music from that
folder), then simply remove all paths from the filenames, and it
will work fine.
Otherwise, you'll need to remake the files with slashes instead of
backslashes, but again, as long as you make relative paths (meaning
the root of the system is where the m3u file resides) if you treat
it as such, then your music will play just fine.
And, just for reference, I use quicktime for playing my m3u files.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
On Windows, our entire music library is based on M3U playlists.
We have a hard drive dedicated just for music, and a directory on
the main hard drive with playlists. When we run a playlist, the
proper files play in Winamp. What's the easiest way to accommodate
this on the Mac? I tried making up an M3U file with paths like
Macintosh HD:users:JaysonSmith:public:music:Tommy Collins:a.mp3 and
so on, and it's not working to just open that playlist up. Itunes
is opening, and is offering tons of other stuff. Is there a very
simple program for just playing music files, which doesn't have all
the stuff Itunes has, or is there a way to do this in Itunes and
still use M3U playlists? Also, how do you properly specify the
complete path to a file? Thanks.
