i see the point, but i suppose there are many users that have a NAS with minimserver on it and are creating their playlists from windows-based tools (that often don't have an option to the change the \ to /). and i think i never saw a artist/title etc that has a "\" in its name? ;-)

Quote:oddgravity Playlist Creator is a free tool that provides the option to create relative playlists with the correct '/' path separator. See this page for more information. I have tried this and it works well with MinimServer.

yes i know, i tried it to with that tool and it works. but the usability isn't very great.... if i have 30'000 songs and i have to "find" them by browsing through metadata it is not very funny..... as everything is properly tagged and so a music library / media manager tool that uses the metadata is much more convenient to create playlists. i would be happy to have a web-based tool that i can put on the NAS and that is only used to create playlists in a simple manner.... and has not 1000 other features for e.g. editing metadata etc....

a upnp-related question: isn't there any possibility in the upnp standard to write data back to the media server? e.g. the control point "saving" a playlist on the upnp server? as far i haven't seen any product that implements something like that, so i suppose there is no standard for it? .... at least linn started with their songbox to have some possibility to save playlists that have been created with kinsky on their upnp server. so it is possible to create playlists "on-the-go", and use them on all control points....
