... i believe its related to the fact that Rockbox doesnt check a file exists in a playlist before trying to play it. If you generate a playlist of the form ./folder/song.mp3 ./folder2/song2.mp3
it crashes on the 'loading' screen every time. If you change it to /music/folder/song.mp3 /music/folder2/song.mp3 form it works. I understand that the first format is invalid (caused by a 'find' accident, fixed by sed), but its ungraceful. I think Rockbox should check a file exists before trying to play it, and display an error if not, rather than crashing. The reason this is interesting to me is because I have been getting lots of crashes even with a valid playlist (while the loading message is displayed). I believe this is because I delete a lot of tracks after listening to them (podcasts). I reckon Rockbox is trying to play the now-dead song, and causing it to crash via the same mechanism as described above. It certainly continues to play the track after ive deleted it. Am i on the right track (so to speak!) ??? g
