It is also used in MP3 players which can thus store the entire audio content in a single file too. It is basically used for CD burning where the source audio is a single file.

However if you want to preserve accented characters in your filenames either choose ASCII and know that Yate may produce m3u8 files or choose UTF-8 if your player can read UTF-8 based m3u files.These are the playlist formats supported by Squeezebox Server. ASCII is by far the safest encoding to use. Some players read m3u8 files while others do not. Many players only accept m3u files with ASCII characters while some support Latin-1 and others support UTF-8.
The base encoding for m3u files is not standardized. When ASCII or Latin-1 is selected m3u8 files will be produced whenever the encoding requirement cannot be satisfied. If UTF-8 is chosen m3u8 files will never be produced. The m3u File Encoding setting allows you to choose the character encoding which is allowed in m3u files. If for any reason the filename template results in an empty name, Yate will be used. Th escape sequences are only evaluated once per folder. The escape sequences are available on the field's context menu. Escape sequences can be specified to insert metadata. If the field is not empty its value will be used as the filename.
More information on the formats can be found in m3u File Formats.įilename If the field is empty and there is a consistent album name it will be used as the filename, otherwise the name will be Yate. Type You can choose to write the file encoded in a Standard, Extended or Yate format. You can force the usage of full paths by enabling this setting. Always write full paths By default Yate attempts to write relative paths when creating m3u files. In these cases you can always choose your desired operating mode when specifying a file to be written. These settings are not used when creating m3u files where the destination is specified. The Create m3u Statement can use these settings depending on how it is configured. The Settings Used When Creating Per Folder m3u Files options are used when creating per folder m3u files from the UI.
