Rockbox 3.8 and Sansa Clip+: Playlists problem
Nick Charles:
Hi,
I'm a Rockbox user on a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ 8GB + Transcend microSDHC Card class 2 16GB.
I have installed Rockbox 3.8 that fix some bugs of the earlier version, particularly with regard to the microSD card 16gb which was not recognized.
I would like to inform you that remains some bugs about playlists:
1) the playlists on the player's internal memory are recognized only if I browse the files of the memory (and the included songs plays regularly), but not in the Rockbox playlist directory;
2) the same happens with the playlists on the microSD card, but the included songs don't play.
Excuse me for my bad english and thanks for your excellent firmware.
Nick Charles

I think this is by design. Check out the manual entry:

Are the paths correct in the playlist files?

Yes, the playlists are generated by MediaMonkey in m3u and placed in the "Playlists" directory of the microSD card while the player is plugged to PC in MSC mode.
I have tried to placed playlists too in "Music" and in root directory of the microSD card, but without results.

So you made a playlist directory on the SD card, and then copied the playlist files there. Did you check that the paths are correct for the new directory? Can you post the path to an example file here?

For example, if I create with MediaMonkey the playlist "AIR" with 2 songs, when the software synchronize it, the songs are stored in the "MUSIC" directory and the playlist is stored in the "PLAYLISTS" directory, both in the microSD card; the paths in the playlist - open with Notepad - are:
\Music\AIR\Moon Safari\La femme d'argent.m4a
\Music\AIR\Moon Safari\Kelly Watch the Stars.m4a
With the same system, playlists and songs are correctly store in the player's internal memory and are recognized browsing the files of this memory, but on the microSD card the playlist appears only for a moment and then disappears and doesn't work.
