MusicBee .m3u to Rockbox on IpodClassic 2nd Gen. [Solved]

[vika09]

Hey everyone,

I tried to make a playlist externally using MusicBee (because it's a little easier with mouse and keyboard than a scroll wheel).
The issue is that I get:

Code: [Select]

(ERR) "file name"
When I view the playlist. Going to the Now Playing screen nothing plays but it shows the total songs on the list.

My .m3u file looks like this:

Code: [Select]

....
G:\Flac Music\Brian Eno\Brian Eno - Music For Airports\01 - 1,1.flac
G:\Flac Music\Brian Eno\Brian Eno - Music For Airports\02 - 2,1.flac
G:\Flac Music\Brian Eno\Brian Eno - Music For Airports\03 - 1,2.flac
G:\Flac Music\Brian Eno\Brian Eno - Music For Airports\04 - 2,2.flac
G:\Flac Music\Brian Eno\Apollo - Atmospheres & Soundtracks\Apollo - Atmospheres & Soundtracks\05 An Ending (Ascent).m4a
....
G:\Flac Music\Daft Punk\Daft Punk - Tron Legacy (2010) [FLAC]\13. Derezzed.flac
G:\Flac Music\Daft Punk\Daft Punk - Tron Legacy (2010) [FLAC]\14. Fall.flac
G:\Flac Music\Deerhunter\Halcyon Digest\03 - Revival.flac
G:\Flac Music\Deerhunter\Halcyon Digest\06 - Desire Lines.flac
G:\Flac Music\Deerhunter\Halcyon Digest\07 - Basement Scene.flac
....

And that corresponds to the their original locations:

And the MusicBee playlist:

I exported the list, copied it, and pasted the file into the playlist folder found under the root.
MusicBee automatically sync with the ipod (which is now considered an external drive or whatever it's called by emcode).

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Can you tell us if the paths on your player match what is in the playlist?  Specifically, what is the path of the first track you listed?  You can use Rockbox's file browser to locate the track.

[cbs_ghost]

That's the path on Windows.
On Rockbox, it mounts "G:\" as "/", and all "\" are replace by "/"

[Chronon]

Rockbox will read paths with either forward or back slashes as a delimiter. 

So, you are confirming that there is a file at this path?

Code: [Select]

/Flac Music/Brian Eno/Brian Eno - Music For Airports/01 - 1,1.flac

Hmmm. May have made a very elementary mistake here. I put the files straight into the root folder.

 


Would it fix it if I just put all the folders into a "Flac Music" folder and Initialised/Updated on the Rockbox firmware?

I seem to have figured out the problem:

MusicBee saves the playlist file like this for example:

Code: [Select]

G:\Flac Music\Muse\2003 - Absolution\(05) [Muse] Stockholm Syndrome.flac
But when I use it's synchronise feature it transfers files like this:

Code: [Select]

K:\Flac Music\Muse\Absolution
That is, for some reason, it doesn't directly copy paste from my harddrive to the ipod, but rather uses it's own sorting method. By Album name saved on the IDtag.

Rather annoying...
