I have assembled several *.m3u8 l files for playlists. Some work to identify and play the MP3 files contained therein - some return an error message. Visual examination of the "Properties" tab (general and details) doesn't show any differences. I've used "Duplicate Cleaner Pro" for all m3u8 playlist files and it has segregated two lists: 1.) some behave as playlists and 2.) some don't. Again, examination of two same-name files doesn't show differences. But Duplicate Cleaner obviously sees that they are dfferent.

My objective is to determine the nuances of the playable files and change the non-players to work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

They’re just plain text. WinMerge or BeyondCompare, some tool like that will work.

Open them in Notepad to see if any info or paths are corrupt...
