The bug has been fixed in the source so fingers crossed another cinnamon update will come out fairly quickly.
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/commit/c42a03a01e988ad6160187c7697425cd99992f08
If not to apply the fix now download the attached patch file

# copy all files used in a m3u playlist to a new subdirectory
# and prefix the filenames with a number nnnn00 in ascending order
# initial version 20200206
