M3U
baobab68:
It looks like your M3U files contain too much of the path.
MediaMonkey can sync the files *and* the playlists to your player, whilst stripping off the excess leading information in the paths.
- Go to Tools/Options and click on Portable Devices in the left panel.
- Click on the plugin for your player on the right panel and then click on Configure.
- Go to the Synchronisation Options tab, and change the "Synchronise Tracks To:" path to be something like:
\Music\\
This will set it up to synch your music to the device, in the \Music folder. The rest of the path will follow the folder structure of the music on the computer, except it will drop off the c:\documents and settings\name\my documents\my music part of the path.
Hope this helps.

Something like your playlist contains:
--- Code: ---Y:\Library\Music\The Rolling Stones\Paint it Black.MP3
Y:\Library\Music\The Rockboxers\Rocking Your Box.ogg
--- End code ---
And the files on your dap are:
--- Code: ---\Music\The Rolling Stones\Paint it Black.MP3
\Music\The Rockboxers\Rocking Your Box.ogg
--- End code ---
Rockbox would then search for the directory 'Library' and not find it. You'd have to replace 'Library\' with '', wich could be done in a text editor.

This specific case is actually handled by Rockbox. It removes one item at a time from the path in the M3U file until it finds the file. In this case:
--- Code: ---1: \Library\Music\The Rolling Stones\Paint it Black.MP3 (failure)
2: \Music\The Rolling Stones\Paint it Black.MP3 (success)
--- End code ---
The problem is if the music is stored in a subdirectory on the DAP which is not present in the M3U path.

What drive letter is your ipod?
When you look at that drive in Explorer, can you see the directory that you copied over?
I don't understand what you mean by, "the files are not displayed on the Ipod screen." Start Rockbox and select "Files" from the main menu. Navigate to that directory. If the files are visible in Explorer, then they should also be visible in Rockbox's File Browser. If they are not, check your "Show files" setting under General Settings --> File View --> Show Files and make sure that it is set to "all" or "supported."
