>>MooSFV - MD5M3U (03/31/03)

MD5M3U is a concept I thought up a while back, where you put the verification of mp3 files into an enhanced version of .m3u playlist killing two birds (files) with one stone. Feel free to use this file format in your own programs. The md5m3u file layout is as follows.

  • The character # as the first character denotes a comment or a md5m3u checksum
    • The line is a checksum if # is followed by 32 hexadecimal characters [0-9][a-f][A-F] and then a carriage return
    • All other lines with # as the first character are comments until a carriage return
  • The line following the checksum line is the name of the file for which the checksum is for
  • MD5M3U checksums are always created and verified in binary mode
  • The md5 sums are computed as described in RFC 1321
