EMPTY PLAYLIST - (ONGOING as of JAN 2008??)
As my Ipod Touch died 13 months after purchasing and “Adams Fruit” Store want £100 to fix it, I thought I
would indulge my enjoyment of music with a Sansa Fuze+ as the reviews looked promising!!
The FUZE+ sounds great and the device seems to function as expected - EXCEPT for those pesky PLAYLISTS!
(and of course the 68 seconds the device takes to startup can be a pain!)
Firmware Version is 02.37.01P
Songs: “5387” (Podcasts, Video, Photo’s, Audio Books all “ZERO”)
Lots of spare MB’s of memory.
I have read and re-read all the POSTS in the FORUMS and tried everything. I get “EMPTY PLAYLIST”
Many times I have ‘cycled’ through these actions:
[1] FORMAT internal and microSDHC Card memory
[2a] Change USB mode to MTP
[2b] Also try with USB mode MCS
[3] Carefully follow the instructions here:-

On navigating to the PLAYLISTS, either the device shuts down or I get “EMPTY PLAYLIST”
I have not tried Winamp or Media Monkey (not keen on either!) using USB Mode of MSC but the awesome J RIVER Media Jukebox has lots of playlist creating options - I have tried them all…
To me, the most obvious format of the resulting M3U file in the FUZE+ Playlist Folder would be:
…\Music\Korn\Follow The Leader\14 Freak On A Leash.mp3
…\Music\Slipnot\The Subliminal Verses\04 Duality.mp3
other ouput options are:-
“...\Music\Korn\Follow The Leader\14 Freak On A Leash.mp3”
“…\Korn\Follow The Leader\14 Freak On A Leash.mp3”
“F:\Music\Korn\Follow The Leader\14 Freak On A Leash.mp3”
Any new ideas / Fixes / Updates / Options / Patches? please?
