Hello,
M3U is a great addition to Mp3Tag. One thing I noticed is that when you open m3u file the songs are sorted with whatever the last sort was before opening the file.
It would be most useful if m3u file, when opened, is sorted exactly as in the file. Otherwise I have to re-order the songs every time I am editing the m3u playlist.
Thank you for your support!
Tomas

Hello Tomas,
absolutely makes sense and I'll work on that for the next release. Thanks for your feedback!

File order is now preserved with v1.2.1 when loading files from M3U playlists. Thanks for pointing!
