Portable AmoK Playlist Copy is a free, lightweight utility designed to back up and export all the music files within a playlist into a single target directory.

If you have a playlist in a media player (like Winamp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, or Foobar2000), your audio tracks are likely scattered across dozens of different folders on your computer. Copying them manually to a USB drive or MP3 player is tedious. Portable AmoK Playlist Copy automatically parses your playlist file, tracks down the source audio files wherever they live, and duplicates them to your backup drive while optionally preserving your preferred playback sequence. Key Features For Backups

Portable Execution: The software runs directly from a .exe file without needing an installation or writing entries to your Windows registry. You can carry it directly on your backup USB drive.

Broad Format Support: It seamlessly reads standard playlist formats like .m3u, .pls, .wpl, and .m3u8.

Sequential Numbering: It can automatically prefix tracks with numbers (01-, 02-) to ensure your target MP3 player or car stereo plays them in the exact order of your playlist.

Folder Flattening: You can choose to strip away messy nested folders and consolidate all files into one directory, or alternatively, preserve the original %albumname% folder structure. Step-by-Step Guide to Using AmoK Playlist Copy 1. Export Your Playlist from Your Media Player

Before using the tool, you need to save your playlist configuration from your music player:

Windows Media Player: Click Save list as from the playlist panel and choose .wpl or .m3u.

VLC / Winamp / MusicBee: Go to Media or File > Save Playlist to File and export it as an .m3u or .m3u8 file. 2. Load the Playlist into AmoK

Download and open the Portable AmoK Playlist Copy executable.

Drag and drop your saved playlist file directly into the application window, or click Load Playlist to browse for it.

The app will display a clean list of all tracked songs alongside their original file paths. 3. Configure Your Backup Settings

Before hitting copy, set your preferences in the options panel:

Target Directory: Select your backup external hard drive, network folder, or USB stick.

File Order (Crucial Step): Check Keep order of playlist through numbering of files if you want to lock in your custom song order.

Structure: Select Flatten folders if you want a clean list of songs, or uncheck it to keep them organized by artist/album. 4. Execute the Backup Click the Start / Copy button.

The program automatically verifies if your destination drive has enough free disk space.

It will copy all the audio files over from their original locations and generate a fresh, updated playlist file inside your new backup directory.

If you are dealing with a massive archive or compatibility issues, let me know: What media player you currently use to listen to music?

What playlist file extension (.m3u, .wpl, etc.) you are working with?

Are you backing up to a USB flash drive, an old-school MP3 player, or another computer?
