Support editing existing .m3u playlists (add/remove/reorder tracks)

[Ged296123]

Hi, and thanks for the great work on Music Assistant.

From what I understand, Music Assistant can already play existing .m3u playlists, and it can also create its own playlists, although those seem to be usable only within Music Assistant itself.

It would be really useful if Music Assistant could also edit existing .m3u playlists — specifically:

• add or remove local tracks
• reorder local tracks
• save the changes back to the .m3u file

This would allow better compatibility with other players and workflows.

I have a fairly large collection of .m3u playlists that I’ve built up over time, and playlist editing support like this would make it much easier for me to switch my primary music player to Music Assistant.

If this functionality already exists and I’ve simply missed it, my apologies — I’d really appreciate any pointers or documentation.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, @OzGav

Just to clarify — am I correct in assuming that this will also allow the following functionality?

• Adding or removing local tracks
• Saving changes back to the .m3u file
• (Possibly) creating new .m3u playlists on demand?

Looking forward to hearing more.

Regards.
