Okay, here's what happened and what I observed: 1. TextEdit would not allow me to put the m3u extension on a txt file. It refused to accept it. I had converted the default rtf to plain text, so as to remove any possible encumbrance but nothing worked. Finally i duplicated a working m3u file on the server side, changed the URLs and gave it a new file title, then laded it back onto the sever.
2. Went to browser and called up the URL of the m3u. Instead of playing through the browser, though, it downloaded the m3u command onto my computer, sent it to jTunes and began to play. Other than that, it worked on my two-song trial file 3. Grabbed my iPhone to see what would happen if I tried to play t there. In this case it did exactly what I hoped: it played both songs through the browser. So, Dennis, what do you use to create your m3u file that allows changing the filetype to m3u, or what can i do to convince text edit to allow it. If I changed the extension to m3u *after* reloading it on the server, would that work?
