A client-side M3U playlist builder for DIY broadcasters
Building an .m3u playlist by hand is confusing and inaccessible to collaborators who aren't comfortable with file paths and formatting. Drop Zone Ops fixes that — it's a drag-and-drop playlist builder that outputs a clean, correctly formatted .m3u file that works in both VLC and OBS's VLC source plugin.
It was built to support the DIY broadcast workflows behind schwwaaa and subcarrier.tv — community-run streaming channels that needed a simple way to assemble custom playlists with interstitial breaks, commercial bumpers, and mixed local/remote content, then hand them off to OBS.
No server. No install. No command line. Open the file in a browser and start building. Mix local file paths with remote URLs, tag your content by type, arrange your broadcast block exactly how you want it, then export.
