Some media players are smart enough to work around this, and simply match on the suffix of the file. In almost all cases, the location where the media is rooted will differ between devices. wpl) which rely on the exact path of the file are therefore unsuitable. I'd like to create playlists of locally stored media files, and synchronize these playlists between my devices (desktop/laptop/phone.) However, there's one major point of friction: due to some changes in how I've stored my media library over the years, the file paths are not necessarily the same across all of my devices.
