ChannelZ28 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello everyone, new Poweramp user here. I have a bunch of playlists that are exported from Itunes as m3u files. First off, they only partially show up in Poweramp. Most playlists only display about 2/3 of the songs that I exported. Second, they are always listed as " not loaded yet." Are these 2 issues related and is there something I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Have a look at the playlist files in a text editor and see if the contents actually match your music files and folders. Also, to show up in a Playlist, songs must already be present in the Poweramp Library database, so it's also worth checking that they appear in the main folders or All Songs list first.

maxmp Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Poweramp shows (everywhere, playlists included) only tracks from folders which are enabled in settings / Library / Music folders. It’s possible, given that all playlist files are outside such enabled folders, that playlist will show 0 tracks or fewer than it actially contains. Also, Poweramp uses the last folder name in path and filename to resolve playlist entries. It doesn’t care about full/absolute/relative paths (so something like c:/my documents/music/some album/track01.mp3 will match playlist entry to track01.mp3 in “some album” folder anywhere in available music folders).

ChannelZ28 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi, thanks for the responses. I don't quite understand them, but I'll try. I'm sorry but my knowledge is very basic. andrewilley, the content matches the files and folders. The playlists were made from my current music files, I'm not sure how they could not match. And yes, all the songs appear in the "all songs" tab in the player. maxmp, I only have two folders enabled for Poweramp to scan. One that has all the music files and another that has the m3u playlist files. None of the playlists show 0 files, just less than I originally loaded onto the playlists. The second sentence I can't quite figure out, but I think that's probably not an issue. Also, were these suggestions for the issue of songs missing or of the "not loaded yet" issue? Thanks again, sorry for my lack of understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I assume all of the filenames are regular plain ASCII text - letters, numbers, dot/dash/underscore/etc - with no special characters (accents, symbols, etc)? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelZ28 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Pretty much, I would guess that there are a couple random characters here and there among 30k songs, but it's definitely not a regular thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
