The thing is, the m3u format has been around for 20 years or so, it’s a well-established standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U
If there are no paths to somewhere else, it’s just a list of file names. On a Linux/unix machine you should be able to cd to the directory where your mp3 are and do something like “ls *.mp3 > mylist.m3u”. No dragging and dropping or Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer or other nonsense. If I remember right there’s a way, like “dir /b *.mp3 > mylist.m3u”, to get a bare list of file names from a Windows/DOS command prompt.
Yet made in Linux they don’t work, I’m guessing they don’t from a Mac either. Maybe they need to have DOS line ends <CR><LF> instead of unix <LF> or Mac <CR>. I’m in Linux with nothing handy to try that with.
Or the m3u parser in Clip Jams is totally non-standard and out to lunch. It’s not rocket science, it shouldn’t be this hard. And there are ways to write parsers that work with any type of line ends.
