Playlists for files on MicroSD don't play Sansae280
slybevel:
So yeah. I've got a 2GB card that the device sees fine when I boot to OF. I can load files from there, and the card is nearly full of them.
I used TDT (from my iRiver 140 days) to create playlists of the folders with the mp3s in them, and put the playlists in the Playlists folder.
But when I go to my Playlist catalog and select lists that refer to files on the card, they don't work. Am I creating them wrong?
Creating them with WinAmp isn't working either.
I did RTFM, but I only found references to creating playlists from within RB there. I want to create them on my PC.
bascule:
Can you create playlists using TDT for folders in the main memory that work?
Does your application create standard .m3u playlist files?
I would guess, unless playlists created by TDT work everywhere else, that it's the application that is the problem, not the playlist location.
To test, you could create a playlist using Rockbox itself, move it to the SD card and see if it works OK from there.

Yes, and Yes.
Playlists that I create in TDT and WinAmp that reference files on the Sansa's main memory work fine. Playlists that reference files on the MicroSD don't work.
Febs:
The issue is most likely that the path the computer sees to the MicroSD card in your Sansa is f:\yourfiles (or whatever drive letter Windows assigns to your player), while the path that Rockbox sees is \<microsd1>\yourfiles. I'm not sure if there is any workaround at this time other than to open your playlists in a text editor and do a global search and replace to include \<microsd1> in the path for files on the MicroSD card.

The only workaround I know of is to let rockbox create the Playlist using the context menu you can then rename and save.
I've raised a feature request for third party playlist support on microsd cards
