2016 Edge Titanium AWD Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Is there a simple and easy way to get an M3U playlist that runs fine with WinAmp and Windows 10 to run on the Synch 3 radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2016 Edge Titanium AWD Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Didn't quite work ... will find and play complete folders of music. I know the file label, but for some reason the assistant can't 'see' it. Assistant resorted to asking me to search a list of playlists, but couldn't find the one on the USB ...

akirby Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Well first you have to create the playlist file. Did you do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2016 Edge Titanium AWD Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Yes - As I already said, I know the file label for the playlist - it's called 'Edge 2019.M3U8' It was created using WinAmp 5.66 on my laptop, as are all the playlists I use with our PC LAN here at home. There is 16.6 Gb of music on the stick, all stored in 'root' of the USB, some in artist folders, some as single tracks. Playlist selects tracks from folders and the general list of single tracks. The USB works fine in any PC, and even my son's Sync 2 - 2016 fusion - but not in this blessed Edge ... What the Edge does is maddening, - it plays all the singles and then switches to each individual folder ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
