question about Playlist Creater program

(1/2) > >>

cooltwou:
how do i use this program to make a Playlist using both my SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4GB & my Micro SD Card 16 GB class 4 & the version is 3.6.2

saratoga:
I can't tell you about that program specifically, but in general a playlist is just a list of file locations that rockbox will sequentially load and play.

If you want to use the sd card, I recommend saving the playlist file on the sd card, which makes it more likely that the paths will reference the correct storage. 

cooltwou:
well I want to know use the program because I have tried to use the in Rockbox & I couldn't figure it & that program looks like it be easy to use compared to what I am stuck with now

toehser:
I answered this question a while ago:

Rockbox playlists are not "ROCKBOX" playlists, they are just "STANDARD" playlists...

SO: you've found a program called "playlist creator"...

Ask on THEIR forum?

- This is NOT A ROCKBOX QUESTION.
- There are THOUSANDS OF OPTIONS.
- GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.
- I personally use the "vi" program.  (That response was judged to be "not incorrect", but "not a helpful answer").
- These are just TEXT FILES.
- It is possible that your analog of "vi" might be called "notepad".
- MOST music player programs on MOST platforms can also manipulate playlists.

If you can read and believe everything I just said, you'll be well on your way to finding an approach that works for you...

Note, I think the playlist format was originally invented by the WinAmp program?  I could be wrong about that.

Here is a good STARTING point:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U

From what I've seen, you should start by understanding what an M3U file is, using "notepad"...

That understanding will help GREATLY to use a utility like "playlist creator" (whatever that is)...

cooltwou:
that has nothing to with the topic at all & you should not respond unless it has to do with the topic
