Hi again
I've copied my 80+ rated tracks to my mp3 player using copy to portable player (via a temporary linux directory).
I'm then exporting m3u files from custom playlist filters such as 80+ excluding classical and xmas.
Unfortunately when I play back the playlists (on the player or on my Linux PC) quite a few tracks are not found.
It appears that:
copy to portable player removes ":", "..." and replaces replaces "?" with "_"
export to m3u file replaces ":" with "_" and "?" with "_" and replaces "..." with ".._"
There may be other substitutions that I haven't found.
I can get around this issue by using copy to portable player for each custom filter and then creating playlists from each temporary directory individually via another method but it's not a very elegant solution.
Hi
Just realized that actually I'm probably comparing the directory structure created by musicbrainz picard when I reorganized my music some time ago with the directory structure created by gmb.
Will look at it again in this light.
