How to convert m3u to wpl file

In most cases m3u to wpl conversion is essentially just resaving two different playlists format, namely standard MP3 playlist and Windows Media Player playlists.  Most media players nowadays offer playlist management / export / import functions so even if you for some reason do not want to use Windows Media Player, you can easily achieve this conversion.  But since this conversion leads to Windows Media Player format anyway, using the program is a no brainer here.

Understanding M3U and WPL file formats

The M3U file format is a popular playlist format used for organizing multimedia files, such as audio and video tracks. It is a plain text file that contains a list of file paths or URLs pointing to the media files. M3U files are widely used in various media players and streaming applications.

On the other hand, the WPL (Windows Media Player Playlist) file format is a proprietary playlist format developed by Microsoft for use with Windows Media Player. WPL files are XML-based and offer more advanced features compared to M3U, such as support for media metadata and dynamic playlists.
