So, with my device USB connected to my PC, I use Windows Explorer to view the contents of the "E Ambient" folder which has 138 files/songs in it. So, in the "Electronic" folder I will see something like this :Ĥ. Lose hours of playlist creation and you'll know what I mean. It keeps things organized by playlist and I'm super-anal that way. It's also a great way to preserve my playlists no matter what device I use. I use the E in "E PLAYLISTNAME" to identify it's Electronic music and keeps all my folders in alphabetical and genre order when I'm in PA folder view. For example, inside the "Electronic" folder is "E Ambient". Inside each sub-folder, is another series of sub-folders which represent the contents of my "file-based" playlists. Inside this folder, I've got several sub-folders ("Electronic", "Pop & Rock", "R & B", "Rap", "Reggae", and finally "Z Misc").ģ. ![]() On my device, I've got a "Music" folder located on my external SD card "mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Music". Connect device to PC using USB mode (hopefully you know this basic step already)Ģ. So, this is how I started using "file-based" playlists.ġ. Trick is, you must use the files/songs already on your device to create the PLAYLISTNAME.m3u, ok? m3u file must be transferred to your device and when PA does a media scan, it will find it, but only if you have PA look in the folder on the device you transferred it to, such as anywhere inside "mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Music". When you add songs to a PC program (Windows Media Player, iTunes, WinAmp, etc.) and choose File > Save As > PLAYLISTNAME.m3u, then you have just created a "file-based" playlist. When you open PA and create a playlist with songs already on your device, they are saved as a "library" playlist. So, let's get you out of this mess once and for all so you (and everyone suffering) can continue using PA and all it's wonderful features.įirst, the simple difference between "library" and "file-based" playlists. I saw my library playlists content go to zero after media scans and got the ".it's not us, it's Android." answer from the PA team. m3u playlists save on device and sync to my PC e bye iTunes.!!! I made sure they are selected in folder scans, re-scanned, killed the app, re-booted the phone, re-scanned.yada yada.but export doesn't work for me on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Bell Mobility) running OS 2.3 and a fully licensed PA 2.0.1-build 455.Īnyway, I'm golden now as my. I've gone as far as to create a folder in both phone and external sd card just in case. m3u8 files as you suggested but I always get "0 playlists exported" and yes, I've checked I've got a "playlists" folder for PA to write to. m3u file based playlist editor.!!!Īlso, I've already tried the Settings > Advanced > Playlists Import/Export to get the file based playlists exported (i.e. m3u file on my PC with Windows Media Player and the saved changes are clearly there. I've tested it and 100% of my results reveal the message ".m3u playlist is saved". So, I've been trying to repeat this save method for over a week now until today I figured it out. I've seen the message "playlist.m3u has been saved" appear for a few seconds in blue font at the bottom of the list page of playlists when exiting a particular.
