USB Stick Playlist
When using a USB and select a playlist it stays on the screen with the playlist name at the top but nothing else for music info. If you exit to the music screen it will play whatever next and not the playlist. Has anyone else played with this? I'd like to play a playlist and it tell me what song its playing or the album art, not just a blank screen.
If this has been discussed before, sorry, I did search some.

what program did you sue to create the playlist, does it have the m3u file extension, and is it in the root directory? does the playlist work on your computer? almost sounds like you created the playlist but don't have any songs in it. have several playlist on mine for whatever mood i'm in.

iTunes + USB stick + drag and drop songs from iTunes to USB stick.= album art and music.
Plug into HD boom box.
Select USB from media options and rock on!
If that does not work you may want to investigate the options in your settings menu. You may have something disabled.

If you don't use iTunes like a lot of people and don't know the command line very well, you can get an m3u builder for free. I like the command line method as it's a simple "ls" redirect command in Linux with a simple header file.

I use a free program Playlist Creator 3. Put all your music in the root directory of a USB stick in folders organized by Artist - Album - Songs. Include album art in the Album folder. Use the program to create playlists and save them to root directory of the stick. Song info and art work all show as expected. Best if you have no other files or folders on the stick except your music collection.
Hi all
Have a similar issue, like the thread starter.
Tried both method, m3u in the root and in the folder.
Copied music from itunes into the folder and exported from iTunes the playlist.
I see all the music but no playlist.
Thanks
Rolf

Try using a third party playlist/m3u builder instead of relying on iTunes to get it right. You will find a much higher success rate.

Question about the structure on the USB stick.
m3u data in the root
for each playlist a subdirectory and in there the relevant mp3 data
or
all mp3 data in the root directory together with the m3u data files ?
Thanks
