Title: mbp and m3u files
Post by: louf on April 28, 2020, 02:50:35 PM

Greetings, When exporting a playlist to my windows folder, I get two files per playlist a .mbp file and a .m3u file. Do I need both files? I'm importing the playlists to my Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch? Thanks, Lou

The MBP file can only be read by MB, so the file you should be using is the M3U.

Exporting a playlist should not be producing two files per playlist. Which begs the question, how exactly are you doing the export?

Thanks phred. I see the error in my ways, I was using the same folder for playlists as well as for exported playlists. Now I use two folders "playlists for .mbp" and "exported for .m3u" and then select files from exported playlists for the watch. Thanks again.
