I am having problems with saving playlists. When I save a playlist it
does not get saved to the directory which I have chosen
(/media/STORAGE/Music/Flac/Playlists) and I can't find the m3u file
anywhere on my system but it must be saved in a cache somewhere. The

and files where LMS needs _write_ access. And that would be consistent
with what you describe, because I had the same thing when I was starting
out and didn't have my playlists permissions correct. Perhaps the

instead of typing the path, and then seeing the box turn green as you

I created a small playlist in VLC. I was able to play it back in VLC. I
dropped it into my playlist folder and it appears in LMS but is not
playable as before. I used nautilus to open the playlist folder, and
using ctl-L command I then copied the path and pasted it into LMS.

Playable as before when?? I understood that your playlist folder was

of the suggested browse buttons. Not
