I have just installed a Readynas Duo and squeezebox boom and transferred
all my music and playlists to the readynas. I have also updated the
readynas with version 7.4.1 ( using downloaded file
Squeezeboxserver_7.4.1-sparc-readynas.bin)  and updated the firmware on
the squeezebox so I assume I am pretty much up to date. None of the 100
or so playlists I transferred work at all. They all appear empty in the
squeezebox server but are OK when I view them on the readynas drive.
I have resolved 2 different problems which has resolved most of my
issues with empty playlists.

1. The transferred playlist contains paths to music on my windows hard
drive for example      D:\My Documents\My Music\Buddy Holly\The
Legendary Buddy Holly\11 - (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care.mp3    
which I first had to change to    \Media\Music\Buddy Holly\The Legendary
Buddy Holly\11 - (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care.mp3    so it
referenced the music file on the readynas. This did not resolve the
problem on its own

2. I then created an exact copy of a failing playlist using squeezebox
server and compared the two playlists and found that the slashes were
the other way round. So I ammended the entry to now show  
/Media/Music/Buddy Holly/The Legendary Buddy Holly/11 - (You're So
Square) Baby I Don't Care.mp3     and the problem was solved. I can now
scan my playlists, see them within squeezecenter server AND see and play
them on my squeezebox boom 

I can only think that the format change with the slash is required as
the squeezebox sever running on my readynas drive is Linux. but thats a
guess
