I wanted to create playlists on the usb drive that is attached to one of the usb ports.
I have my whole music collection on a laptop and I copied this to the root of the USB drive. I have the music sorted by artist, then Album title, unless its a compilation album then these are located in a folder called Various.

- So using your favourite music player (that can export playlists), I used MediaMonkey.
- Create a playlist, once you are happy with the playlist, export it as a .m3u file
- Before you copy this over to the root of your USB drive, you need to edit the file (i used Notepad++)
- Its effectively a txt file with the full path of the file you wish to play, you need to remove the path so that it matches your folder structure on your USB drive.
- eg if the txt file had
c:\Music\SomeBand\SomeAlbum\01 - Track1.mp3
then you you need to remove everything up to the Bandname (or artist), in this example the line would look like
SomeBand\SomeAlbum\01 - Track1.mp3 - Save the file once you have done a search and replace, then copy it to the root of the USB
- Now when you go to media and got to playlists (icon next to source i think) you will see the playlist you have created.
- If it cannot find the file then check that you have the correct path and filename (including the case) as the Audi seems to be case sensitive.
