How to import *.m3u playlist in Android AIMP?

How can I import existing *.m3u playlists in AIMP for Android?

I found how to create a new, empty playlist but no way to import an existing.

The only workaround I found is to go to an external File Manager and "open with" an *.m3u file with AIMP.

Is this really the only way?

Assume I create an empty playlist: How can I add *.mp3 files?

1. At playlist screen: Click the button with 3 vertical dots \ Import playlist.
2. At playlist screen: Click the "+" button, and select required folders or files.

Have a look at the attached snapshot:

Where are the 3 vertical dots? There are only 3 dashes. But the submenu does not offer an "Import Playlist" as you said

Furthermore: the "+" button does not offer a selection for folders and files

I am using AIMP v3.01 built 981 for Android on Android 10

At playlist screen, not in main menu!

@artem: Thank you for the hint

But maybe I am stupid: I never saw such a "playlist" screen as you showed.

When I launch AIMP for Android (under Android 10) then I get automatically to another Playlist view as shown in the attached snapshot.

I never saw the 3 dots at the right side of each song and I never saw the orange bottom pane with the "+" sign.

Maybe I use a wrong
- Theme (=currently "white")
or
- Skin (=Vo!D / EXense)
or
- Layout (=Auto)
or
Control
?

Maybe its another setting I accidentially changed?



Whats wrong?

Switch to standard theme or ask author of the skin, how to use it.

Switch to standard theme

I switch the skin and suddenly it works (for ALL other skins).
Very interesting

My old Skin was installed years ago. It was sufficient so far. New AIMP Mobile Releases were installed
several times and introduced new features. But they didn't work with old Skin.

AIMP should add a "check if skin update available" option and inform the user.

How exactly can I find out the version of the currently installed (NOT: available) Skin (NOT of AIMP)?

I found no info entry in settings
