Creating playlist files that contain the songs?

Hi! I've recently discovered a new artist and I want to make a "Best Of" sorta thing. I have all of the songs and I made an .m3u file that points to the songs location on my computer. However I was wondering if there's a file format / some way for a playlist so that I only need ONE file that contains all of the songs and their order, etc, in it. I realize this would end up being a huge file, and it would be redundant, etc. But I'm hoping there is a way anyway. Thanks!

You would have to merge the files into one file.

WavePad Audio Editor, for example, is capable of this.

Audio Editing Software. Sound, Music, Voice Mp3 Editor

Also foobar2000 can do that and many many more...

With foobar you may convert your files to .flac (means no losing quality) in one file (merging), having tags and playlist embedded, so this and some other players can see and play it as if it were separate files.

I've tried quite a few software programs and this is the best...
It takes a while to get the hang of it but it will do what you want and a ton of other stuff also.
There support is very good if you need some help.
I've been using it for years...
The free version is all you will need.
