Yes. And I did a "Clear Everything and Rescan" as well.

What kind of a text editor? This was another question I had. If I try
to open up the M3U file, it won't open. Should I just try to open it in
something like MS Word?

Yes. I have triple and quadruple checked the pathnames

Yes, I do not follow this, so some suggestions on how to do it would be
great.

Not sure what you mean here either. Are you saying rebuild the
playlists by hand? I actually already got started on that last night.
