Confused about playlists

This suggests there has been a much wider change to the ZEN firmeare, maybe even a swicth of a codebase. I wonder what other hazards are there are...

Could you report the formware version number please? On ZEN this is under System, Information.

1.02.04. I think it's the latest version of the firmware.

Well, that's a new version sequence if not also codebase - ZEN's near-latest is 1.21.03e.

Thanks.

Chris:

I do not think that is the latest number for the Zen MX, according to Creative's website 1.02.04 is the latest for the MX which is the player that danny62 has.

OK Nyn, but same conclusion applies.

I spent a couple of hours analyzing the problem with the Creative Zen MX based on forum reports here and on AnythingButIpod. Doing a clean-up using recovery mode doesn't help, neither does a firmware update.

I posted a workaround here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 90#p230790

Also, a kind user wrote a JavaScript which can truncate playlists directly (without needing the workaround). Haven't tried the script yet, but the workaround described in the first post does work (even if it's a bit ugly). Use either one or the other to solve your playlist woes.

P.S.: Of course this does not resolve the problem that mobile playlists can't be synced back to MediaMonkey.
