Playlist files aren't dynamic. They are just a set of hard links to your music. So if you create a playlist file in an application that sees the file path as F:\, that's how the path will appear in the playlist. If you move your music library around the only think I can suggest is to find and replace the old file path with the new one. You can either do this in a text editor or a playlist manager. I use this one: http://www.joejaworski.com/m3u/ You just point it at a playlist file and tell it to replace "F:\Music\Media" with D:\My Music", save the new file and do a Rescan Playlists only scan in slimserver. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
