Generally known as a Winamp Playlist file, this format has been adopted by a wide variety of MP3 players. You can also use this file for redirection on a website. Use a text editor to create an .M3U file that contains a single line: the full URL to the .MP3 file (e.g., MYAUDIO.M3U contains http://mysite.com/myaudio.mp3 as its only entry). Use ASCII mode to upload the .M3U file and binary mode to upload the .MP3 file. Be certain the server has audio/mpeg as the MIME type for the .MP3 file extension and audio/x-mpegurl for the .M3U file extension. You can then link to the .M3U file with the following HTML code: Play My Audio. Some also use this file extension to redirect .OGG files although this is a non-standard use. The method is similar substituting .OGG and MIME type application/ogg for the media file in the above
