Thanks for replying!
I save my playlists to the the folder "<disk>\Playlists". This folder is on the same disk as "<disk>\.rockbox".
Unless you save them to the catalogue then they won't be there.
I don't understand this. Is there another standard folder where I should save my playlists? Or do I have to do extra steps do register my playlists with Rockbox?
I rarely ever update and use the database of Rockbox since I use almost exclusively my own playlists. I just updated the database with the latest firmware and it didn't help
I'm quite surprised that I'm seemingly the only one with this problem. I'll try to explain again, and this time
VERY extensively what my problem is.
With Rockbox v.3.9.1 loading a saved playlist goes like this:
1. Long press on the select button ---> Calling the Context Menu
2. Press down ---> highlighting the "Playlist Catalogue"
3. short click on the select button ---> enter the "Playlist Catalogue" submenu
4. short click on the select button ---> enter the already highlighted "View Catalogue" submenu
5. highlight the playlist I want to load
6. short click on the select button ---> Current playlist gets substituted with loaded one and the first song of the list is played; returns automatically to the Playing Screen.
With the latest Rockbox build it goes like this:
1. Long press on the select button ---> Calling the Context Menu
2. Press down ---> highlighting the "Playlist Catalogue"
3. short click on the select button ---> enter the "Playlist Catalogue" submenu
4. Dead end ---> See my first post on this thread and my bug report.
Workaround 1
01. short press on the home button ---> Calling "Main Menu"
02. Press 4x down ---> highlights "Palylists Catalogue" menu
06. short click on the select button ---> enter the "Playlist Catalogue" submenu
07. highlight the playlist I want to load
08. short click on the select button ---> playlist doesn't get loaded and played; instead the content of the playlist is shown.
09. short click on the select button ---> Finally! (Well, not really...) Plays the highlighted song, which is the first and replaces the current loaded playlist with the new one. Returns one screen back to the "Playlists Catlogue" submenu
10. Press up 4x ---> highlight "Now Playing"
14. short click on the select button ---> Finally returning to the Playing Screen, regaining playback controls
Workaround 2
01. short press on the home button ---> Calling "Main Menu"
02. Press up 2x up ---> highlights "Files" menu
04. short click on the select button ---> Enter file browser
05. In my case press 7x down ---> highlight "Playlists" folder
13. short click on the select button ---> Enter "Playlists" folder
14. highlight the playlist I want to load
15. short click on the select button ---> playlist doesn't get loaded and played; instead the content of the playlist is shown.
16. short click on the select button ---> Finally! (Well, not really...) Plays the highlighted song, which is the first and replaces the current loaded playlist with the new one. Returns one screen back to the "Playlists" folder
17. press left 2x ---> getting back to Main Menu
19. press down 2x ---> highlight "Now Playing"
20. short click on the select button ---> Finally returning to the Playing Screen, regaining playback controls
And THAT's my problem! 6 steps against 14 or 20 to change such a simple thing like a playlist. So where is the "View Catalogue" submenu? Got it renamed/replaced? And how do I change a playlist in convenient and fast way?
