There’s a 3rd-party app called WebTools that can do this. > [@WebTools-NG](https://forums.plex.tv/t/webtools-ng/598539): > > [[GitHub issues]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/issues) [[Release]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/releases/latest) [[Download latest release]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/releases/latest) [[Download total]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/releases) [master] [Maintenance] [[CodeQL]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/actions?query=workflow%3ACodeQL) [[Build/release]](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/actions/workflows/release.yml)BETA TESTERS WANTED !

Thanks. That looks complicated - no m3u option. How about importing playlists from iTunes? ---

It’s actually very simple. WebTools saves a .m3u8 file. Many apps can open those as well as .m3u. In most cases, you can simply change the extension of the file to .m3u. I found this that explains the difference: [Information About The M3U8 File Format](https://www.online-convert.com/file-format/m3u8) Plex can import your iTunes playlists when you create a library. I don’t use iTunes, so I’ve never tried it. This Help page has a bit about it: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288926-creating-libraries/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288926-creating-libraries/) ---

Thanks. I’ll give that a try. ---
