If the files that the .m3u references are in the same folder as the .m3u itself (vs a subfolder thereof), you shouldn't need the paths at all.

I believe it could. If the .m3u file and the 2 .cue files are in the same folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of specifying the entire drive letter (e.g., J:\game), you just reference the folder containing the game relative to the location of the m3u file itself.
