'''M3U''' ("MP3 URL" or "Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3 Uniform Resource Locator"<ref>[http://ftp6.nero.com/user_guides/mediahome/NeroMediaHome_Eng.pdf Nero MediaHome 4 - Manual]</ref> in full) is a computer file format for a multimedia playlist. One common use of the M3U file format is creating a single-entry playlist file pointing to a stream on the internet. The created file provides easy access to that stream and is often used in downloads from a website, for emailing, and for listening to internet radio.

Although originally designed for audio files, such as [[MP3]], it is commonly used to point media players to audio and video sources, including online sources. M3U was originally developed by Fraunhofer for use with their Winplay3 software,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020606035458/http://www.winamp.com/download/docs/index.jhtml?filenumber=120&language=english&layout=normal&prevlayout=normal The Playlist and Playlist Editor – Nullsoft Winamp Online Documentation]</ref> but numerous media players and software applications now support the format.
