Re: playlists

i appreciate your time and effort
in trying to help me with this (and sean too - who sent me a new eprom). i
suppose this is a result of being there pretty early - beofre you sell 100,000's
of these things...:)

i also have a rio car player (mk1)
which fits in nicely, and a rio 500 that does the job in fine fashion.
wonder what's next!

d.

ps. btw. it's one thing to
actually listen to abba (as many undoubtedly do), but entirely another to
publish this fact.

playlists

yep! those are
they. i thought maybe that it was something to do with the drive
letters - but then thought better of it. are the playlists always
meant to be stored in the same folder as the tunes themselves? i
presume so.

No. You can have a playlist that references files like a HTML page
references files, relative or absolute.

Here's an example playlist that I use to test:

file:///Volumes/10.0.1.201-6/categories/Pop/Abba/Greatest%20Hits/01.%20Dancing%20Queen.mp3

/Volumes/10.0.1.201-6/categories/Pop/Abba/Greatest Hits/02. Knowing Me,
Knowing You.mp3

/Pop/Abba/Greatest Hits/03. Take A Chance On Me.mp3

Abba/Greatest Hits/04. Mamma Mia.mp3

http://10.0.1.201:8080/music/Abba/Greatest%20Hits/05.%20Lay%20All%20Your%20Love%20On%20Me.mp3

Note both file: and http: URLs (#1 and #5)

#4 is a relative URL (assuming that the folder that contains the playlist
has a folder in it called Abba)

#2 is an absolute reference to a file in my Unix/MacOSX file
system. On Windows it would be C:/whatever

#3 is a funky SliMP3 special "absolute" reference, which it will try to
resolve by pre-pending the path to your MP3 files to the
beginning. We'll try #3 if #2 fails.

Otherwise you would
need absolute paths to them (although my pls playlists have the same
problem). it would be nice if the slimp3 could point to the musicmatch
playlists area

(D:\program
files\MusicMatch\MusicMatch Jukebox\Playlist\Default on my system) and
understand those.

Yes it would be nice. The files should work in principal, but we
don't have a separate area for playlists yet.

On Unix/MacOSX systems, you can put a symlink in your music directory to
the playlists. Under windows we partially support shortcuts, but I hear
that there are some problems there. Give it a try and see if it works
for you.

in the meantime i
can still play folders, and if i find out why this is happening i will give
you a shout.

Great.
