Relative paths don't work
Brought to you by:

I've got several albums (Best Ofs, singles etc.) that
have playlists referencing songs that aren't in the
same folder as the playlist. These are referenced using
relative paths. For example:
..\Ooberman - The Magic Treehouse\Ooberman - Blossoms
Falling.mp3
Ooberman - Grey.mp3
Ooberman - 13.mp3
When I open these normally in Winamp, the reference
works fine. However, Album List doesn't pick up on it,
and it doesn't get added to the playlist. Fix please! :)

OK. Got it to work - the fix was to add #EXTINF lines to all
my M3U files. So the m3u file format would be:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Blur - Beetlebum
..\The Best Of Blur\Blur - Beetlebum.mp3
#EXTINF:-1,Blur - Song 2
..\The Best Of Blur\Blur - Song 2.mp3
#EXTINF:-1,Blur - Country Sad Ballad Man
Blur - Country Sad Ballad Man.mp3
The relative paths now get picked up properly. However,
since I use CDex to rip my CDs, every new m3u file with
relative paths will have to be edited. A bit annoying but I
can cope with it. Maybe I should look for a new CD ripper
that produces proper m3us...

I tried a m3u without #EXTINF lines, it works too...
The only thing that might prevent the m3u to be read
properly is that your m3u files do not start with #EXTM3U...
is that the case?
