I'm considering getting an Encore. I know tracks be added to playlists one-by-one on the navigation wheel, but that is cumbersome, especially when editing playlists. So, can the Encore read pre-existing playlists from music servers (in M3U format?). For me, the Encore would be the perfect music machine, but only if it can read playlists.

So essentially, you are using a USC stick as a playlist? Smart - so you could have several USBs each with a playlist. Curious - you mention that the Encore accepts M3U format - but then that there were problems accepting a music server with such files? Wouldn't that suggest that Encore does not accept M3U?

Someone else out there with input or workaround - we need to crack the code for making this magnificent looking piece accept playlists :-)

    As stated before the Encore accept M3U. My problem was the Encore stopped scanning my DLNA server after processing the M3U. Thus I found this a good alternative.
