Not a question, more of a help post for people who have an HiBy R3 PMP.

How to sync playlists to your HiBy R3

1) Create a playlist on the HiBy R3 (don't create an empty one, put in a couple of songs in there just in case)
2) Tap the down arrow on the right hand side of the new playlist you created and then select "Save playlist"
3) A pop up should come up asking you what format to save the playlist as (it should say .m3u), tap on .m3u and a new pop up will say "playlist saved"
4) Connect the HiBy R3 to your PC, a "playlist_data" folder should be at the root level of the SD card, this is where the HiBy will look for playlists.

If you open the playlist in text editor you will see that the entries have a prefix of "a:\" - This will need to be replicated in MB

1) With you HiBy R3 connected, open MB and you should see it in "Devices"
2) Navigate to the sync settings
3) Under "Playlist Storage" set the "playlists path" to "playlist_data\"
4) Check the "create a sub-folder for each playlist and its tracks"
5) Make sure the "save as format" is "M3U"
6) Add a prefix of a:\ to the "path prefix for tracks" option
7) Sync your playlists

Once the sync is complete you will need to "Update database" from the main menu on the HiBy R3 and also "Load Playlists" from Playlists tab.

Hopefully this will help others who have the HiBy R3  ;)
