I suggest you all start acting a bit more mature toward each other.

Lala - I am going to actually be helpful and tell you what I do. I load up Winamp and load my entire playable library and have it choose songs at random. I can hear a quick sample to see if its something i really want to play - if not - hit next until i find something I like and then load it into AudioSurf.

Actually I suggested something similar before...unfortunetly when I loaded up the m3u files it wouldn't work in AS...not sure why, it seems to like some playlists but not others. That's actually the reason I started this topic in the first place.

You should open an m3u file that you know works in notepad and one you know doesnt work in notepad. They're just text files. I'm willing to bet the one that doesnt work has some sort of comments in it.
Normal m3u files follow a specific convention of listing each mp3 filename in the playlist, one per line as such:
(01) [Es Vedra] La Hacienda.mp3
(02) [Glenn Morrison] Contact.mp3
But m3u format also supports embedding comments like
#M3U or #In Search Of Sunrise
Audiosurf doesn't seem to like the comments.
So if you open up an m3u file that doesnt work and you find it has comments, you can safely remove all the #'d lines and save it without breaking the m3u file and then it should work in audiosurf
