Playlist Help (i know there are a lot of these topics!!!!)

[gabe565]

OK, first, I know how many playlist topics there are, but I couldn't find help to this!
A week ago or so, I started using playlists, and I made an m3u file from scratch, and it worked.
I stopped that, and used the go list for a while, but after a few days, I wanted to use playlists again because the go list only holds 50 songs.
I made a playlist in Media Monkey, added #EXTM3U, and took out the \...
So now I have

#EXTM3U
MUSIC\Flobots\Fight With Tools\Handlebars.mp3

On the Sansa, I see the song, but if I try to play it, it doesn't do anything! Why is this!?

Oh, yeah, I've always been in MSC mode

This behavior is almost always a problem with the paths in the m3u.

Assuming the mp3 plays OK from the normal artist/album browse and the path in the m3u is correct, maybe the problem is the location of the m3u file? If the paths start with MUSIC\ then the m3u file needs to be in the root. The paths in the m3u must be relative to the location of the m3u file.

I just fixed it, and it was with relative locations (in the root)
I think I needed to set Media Monkey to not encode the playlists in UTF-8, because it works now!

Thanks!
