.m3u playlists not showing in "Drives & Devices"

(1/1)

chrisjj:
I can't see any of my .m3u playlists in "Drives & Devices" - I know they are there, but they just don't show even though e.g. WMAs and WAVs do.

Iam I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?

chrisjj:
Um... yes... thanks... Sorry to be thick, but .m3u is an audio file type (as MC confirms in File Associsations), so why is it hidden in Audio mode?

chrisjj:

No doubt, but now (11.0.310), checking Options | File Associations shows them to be Audio Playlists.

OK! ;)

I'm taking that advice. And having got the playlists to appear - thanks - I find playing any one takes over 2s to start! On a 4GHz P4. Whereas WMA/WAV start promptly. I wonder if this is related to the track info's mysterious declaration '1 of 1571' on a playlist containing just 80 items :(

chrisjj:
FTR, this is fixed in MC18.
