Properly creating playlists

Example: Three M3U playlists that reference mp3 files in multiple folders.

Music
   file1.mp3
   file2.mp3
   playlist1.m3u

Music\Kim Carnes
   Break My Heart.mp3
   Bette Davis Eyes.mp3
   playlist2.m3u

Music\Elvis Presley
   Heartbreak Hotel.mp3
   Blue Christmas.mp3

Playlists
   playlist3.m3u

The playlist files are in the M3U basic playlist format:

playlist1.m3u:
   #EXTM3U
   file1.mp3
   file2.mp3
   Kim Carnes\Break My Heart.mp3
   Elvis Presley\Blue Christmas.mp3

playlist2.m3u:
   #EXTM3U
   …\file1.mp3
   Break My Heart.mp3
   …\Elvis Presley\Heartbreak Hotel.mp3

playlist3.m3u:
   #EXTM3U
   …\Music\file2.mp3
   …\Music\Kim Carnes\Bette Davis Eyes.mp3
   …\Music\Elvis Presley\Blue Christmas.mp3
