Changing format of m3u to forward slash

palmernet · Post by **palmernet** » Mon May 11, 2009 5:41 am

My Archos 504 requires the m3u playlist to have forward slashes instead of back slashes. Can I set MM3 to create the playlist in this format?

No, you can't. Are you sure that format is required? My Archos 5 reads standard m3u playlists...

When I synchronize a playlist from MM3, then try to play it, no tracks are found. Replacing the slash character resolves the issue.

Is yours the new Archos 5, or the 504?

The new 5.

Mine is the 504.

I am wondering if there is anyway to get MM3 to spit out m3u with forward slashes.

Sorry, but I already said in a previous post. There's no way to specify for MM to do that.

There IS a way to generate 3u playlists in Mediamonkey - thanks to this wonderful community.

Get this script http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34512, go to Options - General - Export M3Us/Playlists and check the "Unix format" box.
Check the "Relative paths" option if you want relative instead of absolute paths.

This script also allows you to modify/remove parts of the path if necessary.

Then right-click on the Playlists node, select "Export M3Us for Child nodes", pick a folder to save the playlists and presto - m3u's with forward slashes!

Also it's being added for device sync for MM4.

FTR, it has been added in MM4 - as "[x] Use Linux folder separator ('/' instead of '\')". Though GOK why labelled Linux rather than Unix.
