My steps are pretty simple. Here's exactly what I'm doing: 1. Open Winamp, create a simple playlist containing one album's worth of songs. Save to a location C:\source\playlist\someelectronic.m3u 2. Open the m3u file and replace \source with c:\source The content of the file is as follows:
#EXTM3U #EXTINF:316,Amon Tobin - Like Regular Chickens c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 01 - Like Regular Chickens.mp3 #EXTINF:356,Amon Tobin - Bridge c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 02 - Bridge.mp3 #EXTINF:394,Amon Tobin - Reanimator c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 03 - Reanimator.mp3 #EXTINF:431,Amon Tobin - Sordid c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 04 - Sordid.mp3 #EXTINF:389,Amon Tobin - Nightlife c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 05 - Nightlife.mp3 #EXTINF:354,Amon Tobin - Escape c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 06 - Escape.mp3 #EXTINF:229,Amon Tobin - Switch c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 07 - Switch.mp3 #EXTINF:364,Amon Tobin - People Like Frank c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 08 - People Like Frank.mp3 #EXTINF:312,Amon Tobin - Sultan Drops c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 09 - Sultan Drops.mp3 #EXTINF:458,Amon Tobin - Fast Eddie c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 10 - Fast Eddie.mp3 #EXTINF:316,Amon Tobin - Toys c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 11 - Toys.mp3 #EXTINF:282,Amon Tobin - Nova c:\source\MP3\electronic\Amon Tobin - Permutation\Amon Tobin - Permutation - 12 - Nova.mp3 2b. (I verified that those paths are indeed correct and point to valid mp3s that can be accessed via my normal song browsing method) 3. Open SqueezeCenter from the tray icon 4. In the "Status" tab, switch to "only rescan playlists" and rescan 5. Note that in the "library" tab, my music source is c:\source\mp3, and my palylists folder is c:\source\playlists. I'm not using iTunes. 6. try to browse to the playlist by clicking on the Web Remote Control and go to Playlists, and there are no playlists listed. Likewise if I use the remote control or iPeng, nothing. 7. Go to settings using the web interface, click on the "Information" tab, notice: Playlist Scan (3 of 3) Complete 00:00:00 Merge Various Artists (1559 of 1559) Complete 00:00:22 Database Cleanup #1 (16861 of 16861) Complete 00:00:14 Database Cleanup #2 ( of ) Complete 00:00:11 The server has finished scanning your music collection.
