title: How to create an m3u playlist containing mp3 and m4a files?
body: <p>how can I create a .m3u playlist file with <code>.mp3</code> and <code>.m4a</code> files in it using debian linux please? </p>
  
  <p>I tried this but the end-result is non-playable <code>ls -w 1 *.m4a *.mp3&gt; ~/.mpd/playlists/beeb-radio.m3u</code>. </p>
  
  <p>It lists all the files with the correct extensions but when I try to load it in MPD, it says that the song is non-playable.</p>
