.m3u?

Okay, I have a Winamp .m3u file that I want to convert to
mp3.  I read a
posting on k3b's mailing archive that says I can drag'n'drop
the .m3u
file to an Audio CD and it would do all the work to convert
it.
However, I get an 'unsupported format' error.  Since I've
never tried to
do this before, what do I need to do to either get the MP3s
or burn to
audio CD?

.m3u files are playlist files (ie, text files containing the
names of the 
files that the player should play).

org/wiki/M3U

I guess that, for anything that supports .m3u files to work
properly, you 
also need to have the actual files somewhere.

Yeah I'm aware of that. I probably should have asked about a
.daa file instead.  But I figured it out.
