DoubleTwist Playlist

Post by mlutker » Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:28 am

Do DoubleTwist Playlist not actually show tracks in Neutron (m3u)? Meaning I see the playlist and amount of tracks in the list but when I click the list there is nothing in it. Help?

Could you please post here an example of 1-2 entries from that m3u and mention the location of m3u.

Neutron, when loading m3u, will look for:

- path below m3u: e.g. in the same directory, or in other directories below directory where m3u is;
if not found:
- tries entries as if they have global path, for example /sdcard/Music/My_Album/Some_Song.mp3

You could try downloading m3u to PC and edit it with Notepad++ for example and append global path is possible.

The m3u playlist and album folders with the tracks are all in the same folder (Music) on the external SD

/mnt/external_sd/Music

The m3u is

/mnt/external_sd/Music/Asian Best.m3u


With 2 tracks as follows -

/mnt/external_sd/Music/Super Junior/A-Cha/02 a-cha.m4a

Another

/mnt/external_sd/Music/Super Junior/A-Cha/01 superman.m4a

I can open the details of the m3u and see the tracks under the reference tab if I open in Windows. But it does not tell me much more than that.

Ok. Thank you for details, I will try to simulate similar paths and fix the problem.

Any updates on this - I see someone had this issue with m3u back in February as well. Just curious if there is a different way to fix this if a newer version of the program is not. Just let me know. Thanks!

Hmm... I fixed problems with Neutron not working correctly with file-based playlists which have global paths to music files. For me such playlists work ok but will check this problem again. I will work on improvement of playlist creation with Neutron's UI and also will take this problem for review.

That's cool - just let me know if you have another program to use or a different way it can identify the playlist. I am open to other suggestions - I am NOT fond of Doubletwist.. but it seems the only one I can find.

Could you please e-mail me (neutronmp@gmail.com) your playlist file? It would be great because Android has no fixed standards of directory structure especially for external SD and it would be easier to check the structure you have.

I switched to iSync and the problem was solved. Will never use DoubleTwist again. Thanks for trying to help though I do appreciate it.
