hi all, i just picked up my N900 over the weekend (switching from an N82 by the way) and really impressed with it so far - however, i am having the same (or very similar) issue as the OP in this topic and was hoping to get some help from the community here

in the past, I have used WMP11 or MediaMonkey to sync playlists to my N82, which has worked great. When I do the same with my N900, it copies the songs (and file structure) as well as the playlist *files* just fine - but when I try to play a song off the playlist, I get an error that says "Unable to find media file"

i'm thinking it may be something to do with the format of the playlists (m3u generated by MediaMonkey), so I opened up the playlist file in Notepad and doublechecked that the paths were correct. An example line reads as follows:

\Music\Sarah McLachlan\Wintersong\08 - Silent Night.mp3

This seems to match the location of the actual mp3, so I'm a bit stuck at this point. Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? I'll admit that I'm totally new to Linux/Maemo so maybe it's something really simple like having "/" instead of "\", or adding a "." at the beginning of each line?

I also tried creating a playlist from within the Media player to compare and see how they are formatted, but can't seem to find the location where the playlists are saved. I'm guessing it's in a protected folder and perhaps not even a simple text format anyways.

This is really frustrating me as one of the biggest reasons I upgraded to the N900 from the N82 (besides the Web capabilities and T-Mo 3G) was the 32GB built-in memory and hoping to be able to use it as a servicable iPod-like music player.
