I'm trying to play KSS files (MSX music format)

I'm trying to play KSS files (MSX music format). KSS files contain the music data and seem to be accompanied by M3U files that describe which "songs" are defined in the KSS file.

So far KSS files are not generating any sounds using that component.

I'm using https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_gep but it seems the M3U files aren't processed correctly by Foobar.

Who is responsible for parsing the M3U data? Is if Foobar or the component?

Am I doing something wrong?

KSS files are from archived found at https://download.file-hunter.com/Music/KSS/


Here some lines from a M3U file:

To use this with foo_gep, you need to:

1) Name the .m3u the same filename as the .kss, except for the extension.
2) Open the .kss, not the .m3u.
