How do y'all deal with music playlists? (beehaw.org)

I love having full control over my music files, but one of the major pain points is moving between applications. Say I start using plex, get real comfy with my playlists, then one day I decide to try out Jellyfin. Sure, I still have all my music on there, but none of my playlists.

Is there some sorta solution I'm not aware of that allows for migration of playlists across platforms / applications?

If you make your playlists in M3U format and put them somewhere in your music directory, they'll work on anything.

For example, I've got files like music/playlists/12-steps.m3u in mine, and they work flawlessly on VLC, MPD, and Jellyfin.

I exported a bunch of m3u's from MusicBee, and Jellyfin picked 'em up just fine. Thanks for the tip!

Seems like Plex is making things difficult though, not showing up at all. What a pain.

"Anything" is a bit of an exaggeration. However, I wanted to mention m3u playlists as well, since it's one of the few (the only?) open, file-based solutions.

I use them and sync them with Syncthing.

Try opening a .m3u-file in a text editor. They're hilariously simple, which is probably why there only needs to be one solution...

I certainly don't want to manage .m3u files manually.
