To create new .m3u files using a graphical interface, you can use oddgravity Playlist Creator (see this page). For MinimServer, it is recommended that you select the options to use relative paths and forward slashes.

Here is an example .m3u playlist that was created using Playlist Creator.

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:235,Sol Power - 05 - Freeway
../74711/Freeway.flac
#EXTINF:548,Missa Pange lingua & Missa La sol fa re mi - 09 - Missa La sol fa re mi: Credo
../CDGIM009/Missa La sol fa re mi- Credo.flac
#EXTINF:129,Monteverdi, Claudio - Vespro Della Beata Vergine - CD 1 - 01 - Deus in adiutorium Domine ad adiuvandum
../429566/Deus in adiutorium Domine ad adiuvandum.flac

Excellent, thanks. I see now WMP also has the option to save as M3U.

Managed to set up three favourites on a MusicCast controller for an alarm feature. The second favourite was the first track of a M3U playlist served by MinimServer.
When the alarm kicked in the MusicCast device played the full playlist :-)
Now I can play selected music collections on a timed basis.

Now I need to choose a device to run it on. Thanks for your help.
