Sansa clipzip Playlist issue

didjeridude: 

I appreciate you answering my post in such a targeted, detailed fashion, and also making the effort to test it (and do research) with the SanDisk firmware (I’m presuming that’s what you mean by “SANSA’s operating system”).  As an aside, I also like your taste in jazz. 

While I’m not thoroughly against using RockBox, I am hoping that there is a good solution utilizing SanDisk’s firmware.  I guess I’m still naive enough to think that utilizing a vendor’s own software to run their device should work.  I will definitely consider alternate firmware if I need to.

From what I can tell, proper operations of playlists and other music-oriented content on the device is contingent upon 4 different pieces.  I have posted a more thorough explaination of my situation in another post.  I created that post for clarity, and because I was concerned that no one would answer here after I realized that a checkmark/solution icon was associated with this post.  That other post is located here.  Maybe that is the best place to continue this conversation; I would appreciate continuing it.  In your case, for instance, a) is RockBox, b) I’m assuming is drag and drop (but never assume…), c) is M3U, and d) I don’t know what USB mode you are using.
