Playlists is a library for working with media playlist files.  The

original motivation for the library was extracting URLs for streaming

radio stations that use PLS and M3U playlist files.

The package also includes an executable that can dump the URLs from a

playlist file and convert between playlist file formats.

## Supported Formats

  * [PLS][]

  * [M3U and M3U8][M3U]

## Future Plans

Some playlist files can be really big.  I plan on adding support for

incremental parsing and generating via `pipes` at some point in the

future.

## Library Example

```haskell

import qualified Data.ByteString as BS

import Text.Playlist

readPlaylist :: Format -> IO Playlist

readPlaylist fmt = do

  content <- BS.getContents

  case parsePlaylist fmt content of

    Left err -> fail $ "failed to parse playlist on stdin: " ++ err

    Right x  -> return x

```

## Executable Example

    $ playlist urls --format PLS < somefile.pls

    $ playlist convert --from PLS --to M3U < somefile.pls
