Does the playlist file contain a #EXTINF: entry without any number of seconds, such as #EXTINF:123?

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U that's invalid, so the error is correct.

Indeed it does. The 3 songs I added to test with all read - #EXTINF:,Crazy Talk I'll have to look into how to fix that. I created the m3u with Rhythmbox. Would be handy if you could catch the error and define it - i.e. "Invalid M3U data" or even "Invalid #EXTINF in M3U" Thanks for the info!

tospotify relies fully on m3u8 for parsing. Will see if an improved error message can be added there, but otherwise I count this as closed.

Perhaps, for tospotify, consider using another playlist-making app that would handle this scenario. Cheers!
