I tried the url style of file:/<FPN>
in the .m3u file; of course FPN starts with /.
It did not work for smplayer, works for mplayer.
Pls. Let me know if it works for you.
Both of my samples work for me (with smplayer), exactly as I showed in
the indented examples. They play through the list of music files in the
file. However, the M3U list just shows a list of file paths in the
playlist, while the PLS list shows the song titles in the playlist.
