From the [Mp3tag help](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/playlist): > If you use '\*.m3u8' as file extension, Mp3tag writes a UTF-8 encoded playlist (Unicode with support for special characters). Or what exactly do you mean with "problem with files using accents"? What would be the correct result? ---

As you saw below my message, the content of the .m3u file was not correct The content for Océan for example became Oce´an and VLC was not able to read the files with specials characters. As you can see the character for é became e´ As you told me i tried using .m3u8 to encode it. The content of the .m3u8 file is OK, but i need to rename it in .m3u to be able to read it correctly. ---
