MM Generating broken m3u path

Post by gregstah »

Hi,

I've just bought a new flash drive, but when I send a playlist to it, the files copy as expected; except the *.m3u file has an incorrect path, causing the playlist to fail.

The correct path should be:

../Music/Artist etc....

But MM is creating:

/Music/Artist etc....

(Note the missing "../" to go back one directory.)

What confuses me is that I have another flash drive where MM generates the paths correctly. I can't figure out what’s different between the two drives.

Any ideas?

Where is the Playlist stored when you're Syncing.

Also which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey?

Hi Lowlander, thank you for reaching out.

I managed to figure it out. It was in the flash drives "Devices and Services" -> "Sync Profile" -> "Playlists"

Checkboxing "Force Relative Paths" fixed the issue.


As far as I remember, this was the default for my first flash drive but wasn't for subsequent drives.

Also, just in case anyone needs this: My current version is 5.0.5.2695
