Sony Walkman and Playlists

Sony Walkman Playlists

Part 1 - Internal Memory

In order to get playlists to work on my Walkman, I need to put them in the MUSIC folder, and they need to contain RELATIVE path names. For example, assuming I have a file on the Walkman called (absolute path)

\MUSIC\rnb\Stevie Wonder\Talking Book\07 Big Brother.mp3

Then I have a working .m3u playlist file called (absolute path)

\MUSIC\Stevie.m3u

with the contents:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:213, Talking Book - 7 - Big Brother
rnb\Stevie Wonder\Talking Book\07 Big Brother.mp3

 Putting the playlist in another folder does NOT work, even if it still is relative to the MUSIC directory.

Part 2 - External Memory

(probably the same thing, haven't tested fully yet)
