I had to restart the player before the Playlists wound take affect.  I also had to press the Play/Pause to clear the Context menu after starting playback of a Playlist selection. These occur when using Playlists created in Rockbox, but not in the Playlists from MediaMonkey.

That is not my experience.  I can immediately use playlists that I have saved.  To exit the context menu you can either press Play (which should return you to the WPS from most screens) or press Left to back out of it. 

If this isn't clear in the manual please submit a patch for the manual that clarifies things.  The ideal format for such a patch is LaTeX code, but plain text indicating what needs to be changed is also acceptable.  I agree that the playlist portion of the manuals could use some improvements.

Rockbox will strip leading directories from paths in playlists looking for a match.  It will not add <microSD1>, however, so there's no way for it to find the files if you make them with an external application.  You said that if the playlist is stored on the SD card then the playlists play.  I guess that Rockbox can find the files in this case by treating the path as a relative path.  Of course, in my opinion this is totally suitable.  I would rather keep playlists corresponding to files on the SD card with those files.  They won't do you any good if they get separated.

BruceHP:
Thanks,  Of course, the more I play with them the better the RockBox Playlist functions work', isn't that strange.
