I don't use a Mac, but are you sure the path isn't really everything after file://? That is, something like /Volumes/MusicShare/Superstore/...
Try creating a playlist in any software that can export an m3u-format playlist, which is what SB uses. It's a very simple and common format. iTunes can export m3u, and so can Songbird, among the many. Then open the resulting .m3u file in a text editor and you'll see the format. MeSue's suggestion about using the LMS web ui instead of the Touch screen is also a good idea, both for you and the OP. The LMS web ui is definitely not great for making playlists, but using the Touch's touchscreen to do the same is akin to torture. In the case of reproducing a playlist that you already have in the car you can make things move a lot more quickly by using the search feature to pull up the exact track immediately, add it to the playlist with one click, and move on to the next, aided by using a real keyboard. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92087 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
