Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 14:50:56 -0800 Perhaps add the playlist path error-correction/guessing to it, but while doing so, have it bring up a note for a few seconds indicating that the playlist creation software is faulty, and Rockbox is attempting to cleverly guesstimate what it means, but you should really write to the program manufacturer and ask them to fix their software. It keeps the feature and convenience, and hopefully also helps direct some feedback and compliance requests to shoddy software manufacturers. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Hak [mailto:rhak_at_ramapo.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 2:29 PM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: Re: ignoring paths when playingg from playlists Not that I like taking things to the extreme (but), this is exactly how/why code that is broken/wrong manages to stay alive. Personally I'd rather just respond to each email/bug report that we get that states we have this bug, a canned response stating why the problem isn't ours. If they are taking the time to notify us, they should take the time to notify the company that build the originating software wrong.

I agree, in principle. However refusing to support bad paths will just land us repeated bug reports and support headaches. "It works with the Archos firmware so it must be a bug in Rockbox". It's just a dozen lines of code or so. We might aswell add it. -- Björn ===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+=== Robert E.
