seems the music app is lacking support for this. I have a feeling this
shouldn't be too hard to add.

Because I was curious about it too I hacked a tiny app that does this.
You can find it here:
Code: https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/+junk/m3uplayer
Package: m3uplayer.mzanetti_0.1_armhf.click (only tested on vivid)

You should be able to use ubuntu-app-launch m3uplayer.mzanetti
file.m3u (only local files supported - you need to wget it first).
Also this won't work when the phone screen is off or the app is in
background. But this was simple enough that I think adding it to the
music player (which could also play it in background) wouldn't be hard.

Hope this helps,
Michael
