Hi. This was originally a query about what seemed like an error, but of course I worked out the answer 10 seconds after posting, so here's the updated version:
I have the "force relative paths" option ticked. I export a playlist ("send to") to .m3u . The paths are absolute.
Code: Select all
#EXTINF:289,Monarchy - Maybe I'm Crazy
S:\Musicserver\Music\Monarchy\Around the Sun\_1 - 05 - Monarchy - Maybe I'm Crazy.m4a
Mediamonkey is SMARTER than I expected, and actually does create a playlist relative to the *save location* for the playlist. Save dialogues are usually "dumb", but in this case MM5 is actually creating the list after the path to the playlist file is known. Very nice.
In the path shown above, the reason for it *looking* absolute was because I was saving a test playlist file on my mirrored remote server, rather than locally, so of course the path had to be complete.
