# Playlists and internet radio
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OwnTone supports M3U and PLS playlists. Just drop your playlist somewhere
|
||
|
|
in your library with an .m3u or .pls extension and it will pick it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the web interface, and some mpd clients, you can also create and modify
|
||
|
|
playlists by saving the current queue. Click the "Save" button. Note that this
|
||
|
|
requires that `allow_modifying_stored_playlists` is enabled in the configuration
|
||
|
|
file, and that the server has write access to `default_playlist_directory`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the playlist contains an http URL it will be added as an internet radio
|
||
|
|
station, and the URL will be probed for Shoutcast (ICY) metadata. If the radio
|
||
|
|
station provides artwork, OwnTone will download it during playback and send
|
||
|
|
it to any remotes or AirPlay devices requesting it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead of downloading M3U's from your radio stations, you can also make an
|
||
|
|
empty M3U file and insert links in it to the M3U's of your radio stations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Radio streams can only be played by OwnTone, so that means they will not be
|
||
|
|
available to play in DAAP clients like iTunes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server can import playlists from iTunes Music Library XML files. By default,
|
||
|
|
metadata from our parsers is preferred over what's in the iTunes DB; use
|
||
|
|
itunes_overrides = true if you prefer iTunes' metadata.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OwnTone has support for smart playlists. How to create a smart playlist is
|
||
|
|
documented in [Smart playlists](smart-playlists.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're not satisfied with internet radio metadata that OwnTone shows,
|
||
|
|
then you can read about tweaking it in
|
||
|
|
[Radio streams](advanced/radio-streams.md).
