OK i wanted to use favorite playlist in my phone , to PC MusicBee.

i'm using HiBy Music, i found how to export my playlist and it works!

so i exported a "playlist.m3u" file and i saved it on my Desktop.

and tried to play on Desktop MusicBee and it doesn't work. Problem is PATH in music files on playlist. It has android path like /storage/emulated... and so on.

so i searched this forum and some guy answered "how about using notepad++ replace all method?"

i think that will works but.. problem is

1. my music path is spaghettied
     like Music/Beatles/sgtpeppers
or just Music/
or         Music/2022-08-01/

 so if i can gather all music files in one folder, it's gonna work

2. Notepad++ replace problem
    as a mentioned above, path is tangled but every files has same path in first. that is "/storage/". so if i can replace "/storage ~ (to any blank appears)" to "/Music" , it's gonna work. (if i succeed to gather all music in one folder..)  


or i just can use brute force.. fixing every path using my hand

Have a good look at the sync settings in Musicbee.
One option is to preserve folders and file names.
If you use this, the structure on your phone is equal to the structure on your PC except the toplevel  making a "replace" a breeze.
