When you say "exported to the server" this may be the answer. Playlists won't normally cause a problem if they are created on the same machine as SC but might if they were created on another machine and then copied over to the SC machine. It depends how the music files are referenced in the playlist itself. Can you create a playlist on the SC machine, using SC, save it and compare it in a text editor with one you have imported... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
