Hello and please bear with me here... this will take a bit to express. I am using Music Bee on a Windows Ten box with a Sony Walkman DMP. With my previous computer and DMP, I used a stand alone program called 'Playlist creator' to make playlists in m3u format.
With the new DMP, I am for the first time using Music Bee to create playlists. Almost all of my music is in FLAC format, so the files are larger. I first create the list in MB (m3u format) on my computer, name it, then send it to the device (Sony NW-A35). This works fine, but.....
Each time I do this, a new folder with the name of the playlist and copies of the music files is created in the memory of the DMP. That is, I have the original FLAC file of the song in the player's memory PLUS another copy of the song in the newly-created playlist folder. Since the memory is already quite full, playlists will very quickly chew up the remaining memory.
Is this behavior normal? Shouldn't a playlist simply be a list of locations where the player will find the songs on the playlist, not a duplicate set of the song files? Or am I misunderstanding how Music Bee handles playlists?
Thanks in advance for any help or insights you may provide!
