M3Unify

Stuff a thumb drive with songs from your music library.

M3Unify is a flexible file exporter and M3U playlist creator that will allow you to sensibly off-load copies of your songs to a user-chosen location—separate folder, external drive, USB thumb drive, SD card and so on—the way you and your portable or car audio player want.

M3Unify can archive playlists and audio files to a folder, volume or portable media and includes options to create Artist/Album sub-folders, rename files, convert to lossy formats, export album artwork, and more.
