Plus, M3Unify features:

• M3U preview
• Track information and auditioning

• On-board and online help

This latest version adds the ability to export existing album artwork as "folder.jpg" image files when the create sub-folders option is selected.

Minor Update for M3Unify

I just released an update to M3Unify. Version 1.2.4 makes some very minor fixes to the UI.

M3Unify is an app that will copy/convert the files of tracks dragged from iTunes to external media, like a thumbdrive or SD card (or any location, really) using plenty of options and, perhaps obviously, will optionally create a M3U playlist file based on the order of the tracks.

More info, including video demo, is here.
