NickHark Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I need help to create playlists that contain titles, artists, folders and songs that are created in French and that are frequently very long. I create them on my PC and verify that I can play the playlist on the PC using Foobar2000. A line from a .m3u playlist for Example: F:\Music on OP7PRO\Erik Satie\Aldo Ciccolini\L'Oeuvre pour piano v1 & v2 D1\Gymnopédies (3), for piano- No 1, Lent et douloureux.wma I can then change the path to reflect the Android path, using Notepad++. Device storage/Music/Erik Satie/Aldo Ciccolini/L'Oeuvre pour piano v1 & v2 D1/Gymnopédies (3), for piano- No 1, Lent et douloureux.wma When I try to play the playlist on my phone, PA shows a question mark over each letter it cannot recognize and then file does not play. Other files in the playlist will play satisfactorily. Does PA have a setting to recognize this European text? Should I look for a PC app to clean up the text? What limitations exist to the length of each line in a playlist on PA? I have encountered length issues when I copy certain music files, onto the Android. How should I deal with long playlist lines? I recently discovered Poweramp and I am really impressed. Thank you for the great product. Phone: OnePlus7Pro Android: Version 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution andrewilley Posted April 26 Solution Share Posted April 26 Make sure you use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for the text of your playlists, and preferably with an M3U8 filename extension instrad of M3U to indicate the same. Plain 8-bit ASCII text may not be compatible between Windows directory\filenames and Android's Unicode naming. There is no need to change the root paths, or edit "\" to "/", as Poweramp will adjust for those automatically. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
