If you have a music playlist and want to import it into the Samsung Music app, it is quick and easy to do.
For Android 10, 11, and 12, users the playlist needs to be located in the same location the music is saved, or it may not be seen.
For example, If the music from the playlist is on SD-Card, the .m3u file must also be in SD-Card.
Likewise, If music is located in the Internal storage, the .m3u file should also be there.
Many Android 10, 11, and 12 users report the list not populating with the solution to move the .m3u files to the same storage the music is located at.

- Open the Samsung Music app.
- Select the More Button at the top right (Three Dots).
