INTRODUCTION

m3u Playlist Copier is a program that gives you possibility to organize your mp3 files better.
Features are Copy, Move, Rename.

General use: To copy mp3 files from CD into HardDrive using previously made playlist, containing favourite songs.
You can make m3u file with Winamp or other mp3 player that supports m3u playlist file format. Program is independent and do not need Winamp to work properly. It needs just m3u file.

Tip: You can use this program also other files to perform multiple file copy or move. Maybe you'll need to copy some files often that are in different foldes? Just make textfile so that each line is a path pointing to file. Then save file with txt or m3u extension. Or drag those files into Winamp and save this list as m3u playlist.
