I run my slimserver on Linux. I like to create my playlists using a
variety of methods on different computers. Some of them are created on
windows by winamp. I wanted the slimserver to be able to read the
playlists created that way. My mod is below.

In the file Slim/Formats/Parse.pm I added the following line right
after carriage returns are fixed. I'm assuming you'll need something
more general since this probably breaks the playing on windows.

sub M3U {
        my $m3u = shift;
        my $m3udir = shift;
        my @items;

        my $title;
        my $itemCount = 0;

        $::d_parse && msg("parsing M3U: $m3u\n");

        while(my $entry = <$m3u>) {
                chomp($entry);
                # strip carriage return from dos playlists
                $entry =~ s/\cM//g;
                #+++art: change backslash to forward slash from dos playlists
                $entry =~ s/\\/\//g;
