Moving VLC playlists & media together between computers

Postby 41m05tf4m0u5 » 01 Jun 2020 04:01

I have an external hard drive with music and videos, and would like to create playlists on it. It's primarily attached to my MacBook. However, I would like to take my hard drive with me when I move it between computers, which is another Mac or Windows PC. I've not tested it yet, but just want to find out before I start building a playlist in VLC.

Is it possible to create a playlist on your main computer, and then move it along with the associated media files, and open the playlist correctly on another computer?

Thanks

mp3tag (windows only) will load playlists. File > Load playlist/cuesheet. Select whichever files you want to transfer and move or copy to a folder using the right click popup menu. Joined just to share the answer I found.
