Hi,

I have been able to use the wifi transfer to upload media in bulk to my mobile from my computer. I was also able to create / save a playlist on my computer. Is it possible to transfer the playlist to my mobile along with the actual mp3 files? i don't want to recreate my playlists on both my computer and mobile.

Thanks

It should be possible only if the paths to the files are exactly the same. Which is not going to happen, especially between Windows and Android, for instance.

In principles, you can write a playlist containing only relative paths to the same media and it should just work.

Thank you!

I was able to get the same "relative" playlist to work on my mac computers and my phone. I used this structure:

my-home-dir/mymedia/artist1/albumX/songX.mp3
my-home-dir/mymedia/artist2/albumY/songY.mp3
my-home-dir/mymedia/playlists/playlist1.m3u

where the m3u looked like:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:330,artist1 - songX
../artist1/albumX/songX.mp3
#EXTINF:347,artist2 - songY.mp3
../artist2/albumY/songY.mp3
