# EinGin TXT Playlist Format

Use this format when creating a TXT playlist for EinGin manually or with an AI assistant.

## Required structure

- Save the file as plain text with the `.txt` extension.
- UTF-8 is recommended. UTF-16 is also supported.
- Put exactly one track on each non-empty line.
- Use this preferred format: `Artist - Track title`
- A spaced en dash (`Artist – Track title`) or em dash (`Artist — Track title`) is also accepted.
- Blank lines are ignored.

Example:

```text
The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
Daft Punk - One More Time
```

## For the best matching

- Include both the artist and track title whenever possible.
- Keep useful version information such as `Radio Edit`, `Extended Mix`, `Remix` or `Live` when that specific version is requested.
- Do not add numbering, bullets, headings, comments, URLs, durations or extra columns.
- Do not wrap the output in quotation marks or a Markdown code block.

A line containing only a track title can be read, but `Artist - Track title` gives EinGin a more reliable match.

TXT playlists exported by Soundiiz already use the supported `Artist - Track title` format.
