Hi,

Would it be possible to have extended m3u playlist generated while syncing device ?
This format is available in the playlist export feature but when syncing a device it's only possible to generate plain text m3u playlist.

Thanks.

What extra information would you like in the M3U on the device?  Does the device use the information somehow?

Simple text m3u isn't readable by my device (a Samsung YP-T9), when I try to open one it says it's empty.
The device needs extended informations to be present such as the header and the length of the track.
Examples would speak better :

- m3u generated while syncing > not working on my device

Code: [Select]

\Music\#1\01 Intro.mp3
\Music\Creating Patterns\01 Conceptions.mp3

- m3u modified to work

Code: [Select]

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:60,Intro - Mr. Oizo
\Music\#1\01 Intro.mp3
#EXTINF:339,Conceptions - 4 Hero
\Music\Creating Patterns\01 Conceptions.mp3

To get the modified version I export the Media Jukebox playlist used to fill the device and I choose the extended m3u format.
Then I manually edit the m3u to change the path of each file to match the paths of the device.
It's a bit tedious.

So I wonder if it would be possible to add the extended m3u format to the list of available formats in the Handheld > Files & Paths > Playlist Format option ?
With support for relative paths, full paths and full paths without drive letter.
