+### playlists
+
+create and play [m3u8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U) playlists  -- see example [text](https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/music/?doc=example-playlist.m3u) and [player](https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/music/#m3u=example-playlist.m3u)
+
+click a file with the extension `m3u` or `m3u8` (for example `mixtape.m3u` or `touhou.m3u8` ) and you get two choices: Play / Edit
+
+playlists can include songs across folders anywhere on the server, but filekeys/dirkeys are NOT supported, so the listener must have read-access or get-access to the files
+
+
+### creating a playlist
+
+with a standalone mediaplayer or copyparty
+
+you can use foobar2000, deadbeef, just about any standalone player should work -- but you might need to edit the filepaths in the playlist so they fit with the server-URLs
+
+alternatively, you can create the playlist using copyparty itself:
+
+* open the `[🎺]` media-player-settings tab and enable the `[📻]` create-playlist feature -- this adds two new buttons in the bottom-right tray, `[📻add]` and `[📻copy]` which appear when you listen to music, or when you select a few audiofiles
+
+* click the `📻add` button while a song is playing (or when you've selected some songs) and they'll be added to "the list" (you can't see it yet)
+
+* at any time, click `📻copy` to send the playlist to your clipboard
+  * you can then continue adding more songs if you'd like
+  * if you want to wipe the playlist and start from scratch, just refresh the page
+
+* create a new textfile, name it `something.m3u` and paste the playlist there

+# 2025-0420-1836  `v1.16.21`  unzip-compat
+
+a couple guys have been asking if I accept donations -- thanks a lot!! added a few options on [my github page](https://github.com/9001/) :>
+
+## 🧪 new features
+
+* #156 add button to loop/repeat music 71c55659
+
+## 🩹 bugfixes
+
+* #155 download-as-zip: increase compatibility with the unix `unzip` command db33d68d
+  * this unfortunately reduces support for huge zipfiles on old software (WinXP and such)
+  * and makes it less safe to stream zips into unzippers, so use tar.gz instead
+  * and is perhaps not even a copyparty bug; see commit-message for the full story
+
+## 🔧 other changes
+
+* show warning on Ctrl-A in lazy-loaded folders 5b3a5fe7
+* docker: hide keepalive pings from logs d5a9bd80
