Hi all!
I edited with an ASCII editor a playlist that refers to other playlists.
The resulting playlist is ok with VLC Media Player but gives the following error when opened with Mp3tag:
```
File F:\musica\tanghi\_tanghi scelti\tanda_tanghi_Carabelli_1_mp3tag.m3u cannot be accessed.
File F:\musica\tanghi\_tanghi scelti\tanda_tanghi_Charlo_1_mp3tag.m3u cannot be accessed.
File F:\musica\tanghi\_tanghi scelti\tanda_milonghe_Canaro_1_mp3tag.m3u cannot be accessed.
File F:\musica\tanghi\_tanghi scelti\tanda_vals_Canaro_1_mp3tag.m3u cannot be accessed.
...
```
The m3u file is in the same directory of the nested playlist and is in the following form:
```
tanda_tanghi_Carabelli_1_mp3tag.m3u
tanda_tanghi_Charlo_1_mp3tag.m3u
tanda_milonghe_Canaro_1_mp3tag.m3u
tanda_vals_Canaro_1_mp3tag.m3u
tanda_tanghi_DAgostino_1_mp3tag.m3u
...
```
I tried to add the #EXTM3U directive with no result.
Each m3u (e.g. the first "tanda\_tanghi\_Carabelli\_1\_mp3tag.m3u" loads correctly in Mp3Tag.
Both files has been attached.
☹ What's wrong? Do I make some error?
Thanks!
