Winamp - Remove path from m3u playlists

[superplay]

Hi Folks

I am using winamp to create a bundle of playlists. The playlist will always be in the same directory as the mp3 file.

By default when I create the playlist in winamp the full path to the .mp3 files is included in the m3u file so if I move the directory the playlist is invalid.

At the moment to get around this I am manually editing the .m3u file and remove the path so only the filenames are listed.

So in esseance I want to use a "local name relative to the M3U file location" rather than the default "absolute pathname"

Is there a setting in winamp to make this behaviour default? rather than me having to manually edit every playlist file.

Thanks

When i used to use winamp i got around this buy whenever i ripped a CD id use a batch file to generate the playlist rather than winamp

Assuming your filenames contain track numbers and sorted correctly you could perhaps do the same

mkm3u.bat:

DIR /B *.m3u > playlist.m3u

Its as simple as that, save the quoted text as mkm3u.bat. whenever you want to make a playlist of the files in the folder copy the bat file in and run it
