[Solved] Playlists - How to avoid empty imported playlists?

[Dominik]

Dear Poweramp-Team,

after hours spent with not finding a solution for proper playlist handling I decided to write this post.

Problem: M3U-Playlists which are stored on the device automatically by MediaMonkey are empty when imported with Poweramp. Google Play Music recognizes those playlists without any problems, so how do these .m3u-Playlists have to look like in order for Poweramp to accempt them as well?

I searched online and found this:

I haven't found any practicable solutions.

Also I read that you are planning to support system library playlists. When will this feature be ready?

- system library playlists support

I am looking forward to your answer and to fully functional imported m3u-Playlists.

I suspect you might not have told Poweramp that it's allowed to scan the folder which contains the actual music MP3 files (so the playlist loads, but the music does not). Check the relevant folder is ticked in Poweramp Settings> Folders and Library > Music Folders.

Wow, Thank you for this Christmas present. It works!

Acutally I haven't expected to be able to solve the problem with your solution, as all files have been inside the PA library (but not in the playlists), so PA "should" be allowed to scan the folders. Nevertheless: Adding the folders /music and /playlists solved my problem.

Merry Christmas
