What is a WPL File?

A WPL file is a playlist file used by Windows Media Player, a popular media player program included with Windows operating systems. It stores references to media files, such as audio and video files, that can be played in Windows Media Player. WPL files are similar to M3U and PLS files, which also store playlist information.

WPL files are used to save playlists of media files, allowing users to quickly access and play a selection of media files without having to open each one individually. For example, you may create a WPL file for a music album, a movie playlist, or a podcast series.

How to Open a WPL File?

WPL files can be opened using Windows Media Player, which is included with most versions of the Windows operating system. You can open WPL files by double-clicking them in Windows Explorer or by selecting “Open” from the File menu in Windows Media Player.

If you’re using a Mac, you can open WPL files with VLC media player, a free and cross-platform media player. You can also use iTunes, a free media player for Mac and Windows, to open WPL files.

If you don’t have either of these programs installed, you can open WPL files with any text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit. However, the file will only contain text, so you won’t be able to play the media files referenced in the playlist.

How to Convert a WPL File?

If you need to access the media files referenced in a WPL file, you can convert the file to the M3U format. You can do this with the free WPL Converter.

Once you’ve installed and opened WPL Converter, click the “Open” button to open the WPL file. Then, click the “Convert” button and select a location to save the converted file. The resulting M3U file will reference the same media files as the WPL file, so you can open it with any media player that supports M3U files.

You can also use the WPL Converter to convert WPL files to the PLS format.

How to Create a WPL File?

You can create a WPL file with Windows Media Player. To do this, open Windows Media Player and select the “Create Playlist” option from the File menu. Then, add the media files you want to include in the playlist. When you’re done, select “Save Playlist As” from the File menu and choose the WPL file format.

If you’re using a Mac, you can create a WPL file with iTunes. To do this, open iTunes, select the media files you want to include in the playlist, and then click the “Save Playlist” button. Give the playlist a name and select the WPL file format.
