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.

Playlist workaround on Beosound Encore?
5 replies
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 :-)

The tags of the music files are changed: The original tracktittle is changed to Tittle - Artist The artistname in the tag is changed to "name of playlist" The albumartistname is deleted To start the selection, goto Artist in the Encore, search the "playlistname" in this specific case the "artist" = the "playlistname" and start to play. this is the result: Login to view image 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.
