Whenever I export an iTunes playlist (as either .m3u or .m3u8) place it in my /Music/Playlists folder, then do a LMS rescan, it shows up in my SBs as My Music > Playlists, but when selected it shows up as "Empty" on my Duet, Squeezebox Radios and LMS web interface.
Opened in an editor the .m3u format looks fine, based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U . Those same exported playlists work fine in the VLC (VideoLAN) Player. If I then save the playlist from VLC as a new .m3u file and do a LMS rescan, it becomes playable by my SBs. Okay, that's my workaround but I don't see why it works. One difference I can see between the iTunes and VLC playlist files is that the #EXTINF: lines for iTunes have the order Song Title - Artist, while VLC does it as Artist - Song Title. I tried manually editing the iTunes export .m3u to change the order and re-scanned but the SBs still see it as Empty! Can someone tell me what's going on? Thanks.
