sPlaylistMaker allows you to easily create .m3u and .m3u8 playlists via drag-and-drop. sPlaylistMaker supports Unicode characters and offers several playlist writing options: • Automatic - Automatically determines which extension and file encoding type to use. If any filenames in a given folder use non-ASCII characters, the resulting playlist file will use a .m3u8 extension and be written in UTF-8 format. Otherwise, the playlist file will use a .m3u extension and be written in the system’s default codepage. • .m3u, write ASCII - Use the .m3u extension and write in the default codepage. • .m3u8, write UTF-8 (with BOM) - Use the .m3u8 extension and write in UTF-8 format with a BOM (Byte Order Mark). • .m3u, write UTF-8 (with BOM) - Use the .m3u extension but write in UTF-8 format with a BOM (Byte Order Mark). • .m3u8, write UTF-8 (without BOM) - Use the .m3u8 extension and write in UTF-8 format without a BOM (Byte Order Mark). • .m3u, write UTF-8 (without BOM) - Use the .m3u extension but write in UTF-8 format without a BOM (Byte Order Mark).
