It's the character encoding. LMS writes playlists in Unicode (UTF-8 with
BOM), while most (all?) other players expect them to be in the current
Windows codepage. You can open a playlist in Wordpad (not in Notepad)
and save it as a new text file, that should fix it.

Strange enough, however, if you create an M3U file from an external
application (without the #EXTURL lines), LMS itself expects it to be in
Windows encoding, too, and will choke on any UTF-8 characters. I would
call that a bug, but once you know it, it is easy to work around it.
