-Be sure to end each line in CR followed by LF (I show those below but obviously they're invisible).
-Set up your relative path.
Here's my example:
#EXTINF: 345,Grover Washington Jr. - Just Enough<cr><lf>
../Jazz/Grover Washington Jr./Then And Now/Just Enough.mp3<cr><lf>

ITUNES MUSIC ONTO SD CARD AND THEN INTO S4
I bought a 16GB SanDisk SD card today. I went into iTunes and clicked and dragged a playlist of tunes (about 1000 songs) over to the SD card and then took the SD card and uploaded into my 2011 S4 jukebox. Took 15 minutes to upload but was a breeze otherwise.

This m3u procedure works great on my '12 A3 with one slight imperfection: live music compilations still have a second of silence between each song. Is there a way to create m3u playlists to eliminate the pause between songs, i.e. like a live/concert album? Thanks in advance.

I don't think that has anything to do with playlists. Even playing back single albums have slight mutes between tracks (though not as long as a second in my case). It seems the MP3 playback software in the car just doesn't support gapless playback.

Well thanks for all the great help out there! Good to see a thread that the original poster is the only one to respond!
Here's what future MMI users need to do to get playlists to work:
1) Realize that user playlists DO NOT WORK on the Jukebox.
2) Copy the source .mp3 files to the SD drive using the SAME FILE STRUCTURE as on your computer. As an example, I let iTunes organize my library. So a song will have the following path...
C:\Music\U2\Joshua Tree\With or Without You.mp3
When you copy this to your SD card, realize it will be organized by MMI for searching by file structure. I copied the artist folders over in one big batch onto a 32gb SD card. I did not copy the whole Music folder to avoid a subfolder issue and allow for easier artist browsing on the SD card (also I have more music than a 32gb card would hold, so I selected the artists that were on playlists that I use). The file will now have this path assuming your SD card is drive S:
S:\U2\Joshua Tree\with or Without You.mp3
3) Using iTunes (or whatever music program you use), export the playlists as .m3u files to the root directory of your SD card.
4) Open Windows Notepad. Open a playlist file. They are text files, so any text editor should do. Each song on the playlist will be listed in order. Each will also have the full, original path from iTunes. Use the Replace tool in Notepad to eliminate the original location. In the example I gave above:
Replace: C:\Music\
With: \
This will point the playlist file to the correct folder on the SD card. If you use Replace All, you can change the locations of the entire playlist with one click. Great for larger playlists!
5) Save the modified playlist file.
That's it! Insert the SD card into the Audi MMI, and your playlists will play INSTANTLY (after the standard MMI initialization when you start the car) without any playlist loading delays.
I am the smartest man alive!
