Please help, I am desperate- playlists won't work

Thank you, it eventually worked. The problem obviously was that I chose “For each folder include subfolder files” which it didn’t like for some reason. One folder at a time was ok and strangely it only worked when the playlist was in the folder with the songs, not in the playlist folder on the Clip. But M3U ASCII was no problem as I already had removed the international characters. But I’ll be sure to use M3U8 next time.

Thanks again!

m3u/m3u8 playlists will never work in a separate “Playlists” folder on a Sansa player.  Sansa players require paths in the playlist to be relative to the location of the playlist.  Or in other words, the files in the playlist have to be either in the same folder as the playlist or in subfolders under the folder containg the playlist file.  So in practice, if you want to have a playlist containing files from many different artist/album folders, it needs to go in the root or MUSIC folder.

Sansafix has indicated that they are working on this issue and future FW will support absolute paths as well.  Then it won’t matter where the playlist file is located.
