I'm looking for an example of a playlist that works. I've never used them with the 6FL, and the couple of times I tried they didn't work. And what file extension are you using? I've tried '.PLS' and '.WPL'.

Thanks

.m3u works well. I've tried it on my external USB hard drive.

Can you display the contents of one for me? I think I did create a M3U too, but no luck playing.

Each line has to start with "/", e.g.,

/Acoustic Alchemy/The New Edge/01 Oceans Apart.mp3

Unicode file names work too, as long as the m3u file is saved as UTF8 (no BOM)

you can easily make them with any version of Winamp.

I use version 2.81 and it's very easy.

If you do not want to install Winamp just to make playlists for your BMW, try this freeware program: Winamp Playlist Creator found at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...-Creator.shtml

Note that under Settings/Playlist Details/Saving Playlist Entries, you should choose to save the entries as "Absolute, without drive"

When I save as M3U with Winamp, I get the following format - and it doesn't work (even if I take out the "G:"):

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:3880,Steve Gibson with Leo Laporte - Security Now 100: Your Questio
G:\Podcasts\Security Now!\Security Now 100_ Your Questions, St.mp3

My M3U looks like this (and works):

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:1470,Vintage Radio - Frontier Gentleman -- Lifes a Gamble
\Music\Vintage Radio\Vintage Radio - Frontier Gentleman -- Lifes a Gamble.mp3

You need to remove the "G:" and be sure that the remaining path is the exact path on your USB drive.
