Playlists

[Mike1979]

Hi. I just made some playlists using winamp and saved them in my pmp root directory. I can't get them to play. They show up on my pmp, but there is no load list option when I press select. Am I doing something wrong?

[Professor]

Are they *.m3u extensions and do they show up under the music section in the browser tab

[Mike1979]

Yep, they are .m3u extentions, but no they don't show up under audio in the browser.

O.k., just worked it out. I moved them into the audio section and now I can load the list. But when I try to play them, it comes up with a warning that the PMP can't play the file. These are files that have played before and I know they work. Then the player switches off. The strange thing is, all the song titles are orange/red which seems to indicate some sort of error. Maybe something really basic, but I can't get it to work

[Professor]

The actual song files need to be on the PMP! Are they?

Orange/red comes up with the DB scan to let you know that a file is no longer on the player (Says this in the manual somewhere)

[Mike1979]

Yep, they're all on there. I made the list while the PMP was connected to my pc using my PMP audio library.

[Professor]

So the individual files are on the player in various folders. Can you play these individually?

If you can, see if you can create a playlist on the player with these (try only a few songs if you have some huge playlists like I do).

Maybe something to do with winamp, don't know!

[Mike1979]

Yes I can play them individually, and I know how to make small playlists within the player. But I want to be able to make longer playlists too, for my car. I'll try another program, thanks for the help

[Professor]

No probs. I might try winamp myself. Had a feeling you were making large lists
