So I think that the m3u thing is a _GREAT_ idea as it is much simpler and more cross-platform. However, while my tests show that it works when one opens the m3u file from the local filesystem, it doesnt work when quicktime is embedded in a webpage using the <EMBED> tag.

Is this normal that the plug-in doesnt support functions that the standalone app supports? And if so, why this? Supporting an m3u is really trivial given that it is nothing more than a group of URLs and the embedded player seems to have no trouble with a URL that contains just one mp3 file.

Thoughts?

For each of the MP3 files you could create a Movie object using
Movie.fromDataRef(), and then insert those Movies into a master Movie
using Movie.insertSegment().

However, if all you want to do is to create a play-list, the easiest
way to do that is to create a text file listing all files in order
and give the text file an extension of ".m3u". QuickTime recognises
this as an MP3 play-list, and does what you want.

Good luck,
