Advantages of M3U links

Conclusion

However, it is important to always pay attention to security and only use trustworthy sources for M3U links. With the right handling, M3U lists can significantly enrich your streaming experience.
The legality of M3U lists depends on the content and its use. If the M3U list refers to copyrighted content that is streamed without the permission of the rights holder, this is illegal. However, M3U lists themselves are only file formats and therefore legal as long as they are used for streaming licensed or publicly accessible content.
M3U lists are largely compatible with many devices and platforms, provided there is a suitable media player that supports the M3U format. This includes PCs, smartphones, tablets and special streaming devices. However, compatibility depends on the respective media player and the operating system of the device.
To update an M3U playlist, open the file in a text editor and add new links or remove outdated ones. Then save the file again with the extension .m3u. Note that some M3U lists are dynamic and can be updated automatically if they are provided by a streaming service.
