M3U (Media Playlist File) is a file type used in digital audio and video playback applications to store references for streaming media sources. It is a plain text file format, and when opened, it can contain any number of path-style URIs or URLs.

How to convert the file from M3U to B4S?
To successfully convert the M3U file to B4S, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.M3U). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case B4S (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than B4S).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. M3U to B4S. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting M3U files to B4S files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension B4S, while before this step we had the M3U file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new B4S file, or not.
