If that is true, then it is probably a BOM problem. This previous thread goes into some depth on this very same issue...

It is easy, I have no problems using m3u files created under Linux with easytag, grip, xmms, Amarok, etc. I am also the Sansa Rockbox moderator over at "Anything but iPod" and none of the Windows users in the forum have any problems either- I believe the majority of them use MediaMonkey, you might want to give that a try.

That does not help me, here is what I need....
I need to be able to convert my pla files to m3u files, if you can tell me how to do that then you can say it's easy, but no one has shown me an easy way to do it thusfar, only convoluted ways to do it by editing text files and such.
Ok, I downloaded notepad++ and I was able to successfully convert a pla file to a m3u file that RB could understand, but this is very tedious to have to do everytime. Are there no tools that will convert from pla to m3u? If not I'll try my hand at writing one using VBScript.
This functionality should really be native to RB, it's pretty ridiculous to expect a user to be able to jump through all these hoops just to get basic functionality out of this firmware.
GodEater:
a .pla file is not "Basic functionality" it's a propriertary format.
We support .m3u's - which are a standard format.

Curiouser and curiouser...
According to this accepted patch Rockbox should correctly deal with a byte order mark...

This may be your best bet. Even the previous thread I linked to didn't have a definitive answer, although a link was given to 'iconv', but that doesn't look like a particularly elegant solution, either.
