PSP Playlists

In order to generate a playlist for your songs, you will need to create a .m3u8 file.

What Is an M3U8 File?
A file with the M3U8 file extension is a UTF-8 Encoded Audio Playlist file.

They are plain text files that can be used to describe where media files are located.

To Proceed:
1. Ensure you have MP3 songs inside your main MUSIC Folder
2. Inside your ms0:/PSP Folder, create a folder named PLAYLIST
3. Inside your new folder named PLAYLIST, create another folder named MUSIC
4. This is where your playlists will be kept

5. Open up a new text file
Here's an example of how a playlist should look like (ensure .mp3 extension is included):

\MUSIC\Runaway Train.mp3
\MUSIC\Slow Hands.mp3
\MUSIC\To Be with You.mp3
\MUSIC\Wild World.mp3

6. Save your text file, ensuring that its extension is (.m3u8) for example:

Rock Songs.m3u8

Thank you for this tutorial.
It is very nice that there is still someone who cares about our beloved old console and propose innovative ideas to restore its luster and make it still desirable.
I hope that others follow your example and repopulate this section unfortunately now become a semi-abandoned city; refuge of a few lonely and nostalgic souls in the melancholic search of a past now distant and sadly unreachable.

Thank you for your kind words. I shall endeavour to archive here, all of the knowledge I have gathered over the years. It only takes 2 people with similar passions to reignite a community long forgotten. I plan to make old content, up to date content, and find new ways to bring life back to this incredible device that left it's mark within the gaming community.

Neat. WIll this work on Vita? I prefer the Eleven mp3 player but I've yet to find one that supports playlists, or at least documented to do so.
