Well. I'm sorry you can't understand my question in reference to how NOT to use the playlists to listen to my music. Here is a sample submitted by another forum participant with a similar problem: "If instead of selecting the playlist, I go to the folder where the files are and start playing them, they work fine. its only with my m3u8 playlist that it usually fails." I guess there is a way to listen to my music without using the playlist. I hope that statement help you to understand my original question. Thank you.
