The M3U Playlist file format is a computer file format for multimedia playlists. It has been used since the late 1990s as a way to organize and store collections of digital audio files, such as MP3s and other audio formats. The M3U file format is an extension of the M3U playlist format, which is widely supported by many software media players, hardware devices, and streaming services. An M3U Playlist file contains a list of URLs or paths to local files on a computer or network, pointing to audio or video files that can be played back in any compatible media player. This makes it possible to create playlists, which are lists of songs or videos that can be played in sequence or shuffled randomly. The M3U Playlists file format also supports metadata tags such as title and artist information, allowing users to sort their music libraries according to this data. Some versions of the M3U Playlist file format also support extended attributes such as album art, lyrics and other information about the media being played.
