Playlist Limit ?

[Dominiek (Belgium)]

Hi guys...

First of all : I already have my ZOLID/Neuros 442 for a couple of months and I'm very happy with it... Although I mostly use it as a MP3 player (I hope you forgive me).

This weekend, I discovered a problem on this topic :
I have the idea that the number of songs "shown and played on the default playlist" (i.e. AUDIO-directory, where I placed all my songs) is limited. The 'oldest songs' are not shown in this directory anymore, nor played. Each time I add new songs, some old ones seem to become erased...
Though they are not erased physically : I can see them when I look into the directory via my PC. But they don't appear on the 442-AUDIO-screen anymore...

Is there a trick or a bug fix or something to tackle this problem ?

(A solution I thought about was to make 26 sub-folders, one for each starting character; but then I discovered the "shuffle" option does not look in those subfolders... Or am I Wrong) ?


Thank you !

Okay, I found a solution :

- I have put all my music in separate folders (a/b/c/...)
- I have installed the "shuffle-script" I found somewhere on this forum

And now I'm a happy man !

I saw the script and wasn't sure about how to use it and get it to work with the 442. How do you do this?

I wrote the script and the post[1] and to use it you need perl.  If you are running Windows, the easiest way is to get the free ActiveState ActivePerl[2].  Other OS's probably have perl shipped by default.  If not, it depends on the OS as to how to get it.

Actually using the script I described in the previous thread[1], if you are having trouble with that, let me know.

Ow, so u use perl. I wrote it in textpad and saved as .pl, then opened it when i had perl. (the file that says randomm3u.pl audall.m3u>audfav.m3u).

But it doesn't work?

I wrote some more suggestions in the other thread [1], but pretty much you got it, but the one that says random_m3u.pl audall.m3u > audfav.m3u needs to have a .bat extension, like random_m3u.bat.
