Importing existing winamp playlist not working
2337parkland - 8-5-2005 at 10:11 PM

Help.... I love your program.
Looks great, I use the artic skin. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is using existing winamp playlists when I open one nothing happens. They work fine if I use them outside ejukebox, any suggestions.

Thanks

Steve

you really should go explaing the features at the BYOAC forums they have a whole section there on the various jukebox's. I will do my best to show them how great you're program is.

Welcome to the forums!

Glad you like the skin :)

Have you tried to push the menu button ---> load playlist? I don't use this feature very often, but as far I can remember it should work.

What's the url for that forum? Could be interesting reading and maybe I could brag a little about ejukebox as well :)

Hey thanks for the quick reply,

Tried the menu/load playlist starts to load and then just stops, any suggestions?

here's the URL http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/

look up top for audio/Jukebox/mp3 discussions

Quite a bit of work done on one called wincab and he has a good site as well with a list of available jukebox's

Have you tried several different playlists? Are they in m3u or pls format? Seems to work fine here. Just loaded a huge one with 5 albums. Are you sure the playlist you're trying to load correctly points to your songs path?

Yep tried all of my play lists. They work fine by them selves load right into winamp5. I am using version 3.98 of ejukebox on winxp everything else works great.

Here is how my playlists are stored.

Songs C:mp380s
playlist C:mp3playlists

I even copied one of the playlists over to the default ejukebox playlist folder, no luck

Thanks for the help

Forgot to add that they are m3u playlists

Hmm probably more work finding out of this then creating new playlists from ejukebox then. Just drag things over from explorer to the ejukebox playlist and save the playlist from within ejukebox. It would be weird if those playlists also didn't work.

However this is a little strange, because playlist created in both winamp and ejukebox works like a charm over here. Sorry that I can't give you any further help on this :(

Okay I loaded a few songs and saved them as a play list in Ejukebox. Took a look at the playlist and compared it to what winamp's version looks like.

Winamp uses relative path names for example
mp380sdepechemode - just can't get enough.mp3

Ejukebox saves as absolute path names

C:mp380sdepechemode - just can't get enough.mp3
as an experiment I removed the c: out of the ejukebox generated playlists and sure enough, ejukebox didn't recognize it anymore.

Would be better if ejukebox could handle winamp generated playlists.

Hopefully this can be added/fixed in the next release

Thanks

Steve
