This page describes how you can share playlists such that others may play them play directly on their computer, provided they have the audio.  
TINT-base filing makes it possible to share playlists such that others may play them play directly on their computer, provided they have the track files, even if their music library is not in the same-named path.


== With TINT-based filing==
This requires that when your media librarian program saves a playlist to a path location at or below the level of the tracks, it uses relative paths for the track references within. One such program is Windows Media Player V9 or later. When such a playlist is sent be sent to another user who places it an the same position in his/her music library folder, that user may play it inside a music librarian program that recognises relative paths. Or;
Currently the only way to achieve the above is via [[TINT-based filing]]
=== Method 1 ===
* you can use [[TINT-based filing]] for sharing playlists. E.g. a [[.m3u]] can be placed in the TINT root. (e.g. C:/path_to_my_tinted_music/)
 
=== Method 2 ===
*TINT-based filing with an additonal folder "../tint/.." (e.g. C:/path_to_my_music/tint/)
* allows sharing without the need to put the playlist directly in the audio root
* path is <pre><nowiki><root>/tint/<TIN>/<Side#>/<Track#>.<ext></nowiki></pre>
* the m3u file includes relative path <pre><nowiki><root>../tint/<TIN>/<Side#>/<Track#>.<ext></nowiki></pre>
E.g.
*<tt>C:/My Music/'''tint'''/'''00724383741328'''/'''1'''/'''1'''.flac</tt>
*<tt>C:/My Music/mym3ufiles/my-playlist-for-sunday.m3u</tt> (same level as the tint folder)
*<tt>C:/My Music/tint/my-playlist-for-sunday.m3u</tt> (if you want to have it in the same directory)
*a path in the .m3u would be <tt>../'''tint'''/'''00724383741328'''/'''1'''/'''1'''.flac</tt>
 
== Without TINT-based filing==
There is currently no way known to tango.info, to share directly playable playlists without [[TINT-based filing]].
 
foobar with [[foo_texttools]] lets you export a plain list of TINTs as text file. There is currently no method known how to play. One way is that the receiver of a TINT list uploads his library to t.i (tint + path) and also uploads the TINT list. He could then get back a m3u file containg the pathnames for the TINT list.

TINT-base filing makes it possible to share playlists such that others may play them play directly on their computer, provided they have the track files, even if their music library is not in the same-named path.

This requires that when your media librarian program saves a playlist to a path location at or below the level of the tracks, it uses relative paths for the track references within. One such program is Windows Media Player V9 or later. When such a playlist is sent be sent to another user who places it an the same position in his/her music library folder, that user may play it inside a music librarian program that recognises relative paths.
