Creating Playlists on Ihp using MC 10

(1/5) > >>

tombo77:
Why is it when I create playlists using MC10 the Sw wants to transfer the files already on the player? I create the playlists using the media files from the player in the first place. When I export the playlists to the Player they will show up as a "playlist error" unless or untill I open Winamp and open and resave the Playlists from there.

I love the software but Im not sure I understand the way it should be used. It seems playlists should be created before transfering the files as they will be transferred upon playlist creation.

If I did allow the transfer process to continue will I then have duplicate files in seperate directories on the player?

Also the 120 shows up in explorer without the iHP-120 volume label in RAW format sometimes.

tombo77,

We do not have a iHP-120 here, but your post implies that it shows up as a removable drive to your PC. If so, I presume you are connecting to it with MC with the checkbox for 'Enable WMDM support' (found in Tools->Options->Devices) deselected. Correct?

In regards to playlists, are you reimporting tracks transfered to the player back into MC and then creating playlists?

How does the 120 handle playlists, are they .m3u files?

I rebooted and it shows up as it should with the proper volume label.

I use the media library to import the music from the DAP. then I create the playlists using MC. As I do this the box opens up to transfer the FILESs from the created PL back to the DAP. Im not sure of whats going on htere as the files originated there from which the palylist was created. Will the files be transferd to themselves or be put in the root directory? I did not chance that so I instead export the playlist only to the DAP as an M3U.

The DAP can not read that  particular m3u file until I then open winamp and open the playlist on the DAP and then save it back to the DAP usin winamp. Thats all I need Winamp to do. Open the MC playlist file and resave it back where the Ihp-120 can now read the list. Its an extra step I have to take and another program I have to use.

Maybe if I allowed MC to do the transfer of files included in the playlists that would make the difference IF it did not cause duplicate files to be written to the DAP in another directory.......

Im not sure of the way MC creates and writes playlists as m3u's But it does something to the file only Winamp can correct.

tombo,

I am working on getting the players and specifications from iRiver so that I can give you advice on how to get this to work. When winamp writes the file back to the iRiver, where does it put the file? When you exported the m3u with MC, where did you send the file?

SteveG,

I thought that you already had a solution for the playlist problem. ;D
The same problem here with the iHP-140.

Tombo77, can you find out if it's possible to make the change that winamp does to the m3u file manually. If so I can use the feature whith some editing.

The one thing I found out making playlists is that you have to make them on the player itself. Otherwise the path (driveletter) to the songs is wrong.

Don't want to install winamp for this correction. That's what I have MC for.  ;)
