In order to understand why this isn't working for you, could you post a step-by-step of what you're doing to create the playlist using the player and which step isn't doing what you expect it to do?
That way we can try to help.

Rockbox is not "written in linux", it is from scratch and unrelated.

Not only is that untrue, please try not to comment on anything other than your own experience or anything that isn't factual. I know it may be tempting to extrapolate your experiences, but, please don't. New users could get the impression that Rockbox is terrible at creating/editing/managing playlists, when all we know at this point is that you personally are having issues.

This is nonsense. Playlists refer files. If the path to the file changes (and the playlist isn't updated) it obviously breaks. If you move files around in the filesystem you can confuse *any* player, even on your PC (and if you're using different programs for creating playlists and playing them on the PC while shuffling files around it is likely to break even more). When copying files to the player (and especially when distributing them between internal and external memory of the player) you're doing exactly this. If you're unaware how playlists work you are likely to run into problems. Itunes doesn't let you manage the files *at all* for that reason (any maybe for various other reasons as well).

This is nonsense and you are whining around. These are the Rockbox support forums, not the Rockbox whining forums. Stop it or the thread will be locked.
--- Quote ---( i could see it ) but i could not get the SANSA source / firmware to upload into the FUZE to install RB. i think the problem lines more with UBUNTU and my computer but since i dont know how to post code to developers to help solve the problems.

You don't need to "post code". If you're having problems installing Rockbox from a Linux machine you need to describe what you did so people are able to figure what went wrong. Just claiming "didn't work" and "can't post code" doesn't help anyone.
marc2003:
if you want to create playlists with files spread over internal and external memory, you might consider this method i wrote about on another forum.

it requires foobar2000 (windows) and a few minutes for initial setup.
