First at all I want to congratulate you guys for a great
initiative to fill gaps Archos may never do. Your firware
is far superior and I have the Studio 10 player.

I reported before that playlists weren’t working and saw
some related post but your answer is cannot be
replicated. Well, I think I discovered the issue so I may
explain it better for you.

I use MusicMatch to play and store my MP3 music and
therefore I use it for creating the playlists. My music
files are licated within a user directory under Windows
XP. A one entry view of a playlist created by
MusicMatch is as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My
Music\Kenny G\Going Home.mp3

When playing that playlist, the software try to read but
do nothing else. I then modified the entry to:

\My Music\Kenny G\Going Home.mp3

and it worked. SO apparently, your software is lost
when looking for such long directory structure. I know
there is a work around but I have several playlists and
whenever moving them to Archos I would need to modify
them (no good). The point here is that I don’t need to go
for such hassle with the original Archos formware.
Apparently it ignore the initial garbage. Please, don’t tell
me I need to go back to original formware. I know this is
an easy issue for you. Please let me know if you may
work with it. Again, origianl firmware reads the playlists
either way.
