I use Media Monkey to manage my music collection and it can export m3u playlists… I actually store them in a folder on my NAS drive. Question… How do I import them? And even more so, why can’t I point the “Playlist” library to that folder like I do with Movies and TV… or, maybe someone can tell me where PLEX stores it’s playlists?

Thanks!

Plex doesn’t support m3u playlists. It’s a popular [feature request](https://forums.plex.tv/t/option-to-use-existing-m3u-for-playlist-feature/73492#top "feature request"), though.

I am with fabaris on the whole importing playlists option with Plex. I have been using Jriver Media Center for 10 years and I have a huge number of playlists in MC. Not being able to import them to Plex makes Plex useless to me…
