Playing Playlists In ClipZip

Hi,

I have done some searches regarding this topic, but couldn't find anything that helped me.  Here are the basics:

I have the latest build of Rockbox, have a 32 gb card in the Clip Zip, Windows 7, am using Media Monkey to make playlists on my laptop.  At that time, the files reside on my laptop and the playlists (in M3U) also.  After I create the playlist, I move the files, which are in separate folders,  to the music folder on the Microcard and put the playlist in the playlist folder on the card.  Each playlist points to a separate folder, where I placed the music files.  Just to make sure, I also put a copy of the playlist in the main playlist folder.  The playlists are of the "Best Of" variety. 

After moving the files, I can see the playlists and music files, but no matter what I do, I cannot play the playlists.  The playlist will come up, but when I press on the starting song of the playlist, it blanks out for a minute, then back to the playlist.  I can play files alphabetically, but that defeats the purpose of a playlist.  Any suggestions?

Its probably because the playlist path on windows is something like:

G:\folder\file.mp3

but in rockbox the microsd card is inside the main partition, so its:

\<microSD1>\folder\file.mp3

Rockbox is smart enough to clip off the drive letter, but not smart enough to add the microsd1 folder back.

Here is a build for your player that is smart enough to do that:

Does it fix the problem?

Grey012:
No, unfortunately.  I used the file(s) you sent me, but they didn't make a difference.  I changed the playlists in the microcard to read like this:  \<microSD1>\The Smiths & Morrissey - Greatest Hits\Bigmouth Strikes Again.mp3.  It still doesn't work.

I have attached my config file.

saratoga:
Does that file actually exist at that location? doesn't sound like it.

None of them do...but I DID get the playlists working on the internal card, but not on the external microcard. 

I used Media Monkey, put the files in individual folders on my laptop, made playlists for the music I wanted and then synched it to the internal card - all of those playlists DO work. 

I then did the same thing for the playlists I wanted on the external microcard.  After synching to both cards, I then initialized the database.  BUT, even though I synched playlists to the microcard, they did not work. 

When I try to play a playlist on the external card, the playlist comes up with the first song for a second, and then flashes back to the main menu.  For less than a second, after the playlist starts, I see something that looks like {root}  {root}, before flashing back to the main menu.

I am stumped now.  The files and playlists on the external card are in the same format as the internal.  There is a music file and a playlist file.    The playlists on the internal card point to "H" drive and the ones on the external drive point to "I" drive, so they should play....but they don't
