Playlist does not sync with MP3 player
bob:
I can't duplicate this at all.
Every M3U playlist I generate has full CRLF terminators.
What exact M3U playlist format are you using in MC's handheld options?
Can you attach one (zipped) here?

"What exact M3U playlist format are you using in MC's handheld options?"
Huh, I should have known after all this time that there are options. There are always options with MC lol. I didn't even check. Much to my relief/disappointment none of the M3U options worked. Here is a playlist made with M3U (relative Paths). Like all of the other options, the playlist shows up in the playlist section of the player but when I click on it, it just says Empty.
Maybe the post I found doesn't apply to Media Center and there's some other problem?

It looks like the Clip Jam wants playlists in the same folder as the files. Or it wants them in the central Playlists folder on the Clip Jam. This thread seems to outline the paths required:

I would play around manually with the playlist file unit you get it to work on the clip jam. Then you can pick the correct MC playlist format and put it in the proper folder.
Finally, I notice that your example M3U file contains music with "?" characters in the file and directory path names. That may or may not make the Clip Jam angry or confused. It might be instructive to start with some really simple file names like "1.mp3" and a very simple playlist referencing those file names.
Just some ideas for you.
Brian.

I appreciate the response. I’m afraid I don’t really know what “… play around with the playlist file manually..” means:( I see that MC has various options for paths for the files being written to the player. I assume that I can assign the playlist file to be written to any folder but I don’t know how to manipulate the M3U file directly or even what I would do to it.
blgentry:
My "play around with" suggestion means for you to edit the file directly with a text editor. If that isn't something you will be comfortable with, then adjusting MC's options and trying each different M3U type might be the best thing to do.
Best of luck,
Brian.
