Open up the M3U file in a text editor and check if the file paths looks like: Relative: ..\..\My Music\mynicesong.mp3 My Music\mynicesong.mp3 Or Absolute: C:\Document and Settings\xxxx\My Music\mynicesong.mp3 \\myserver\musicshare\My Music\mynicesong.mp3 If this is the case you might be able to use "Replace All" in the text editor to update the files so they contain absolute paths. However, I'm not sure how this will affect WMP's ability to use the same playlist files. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35037 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
