Problem with playlist on CD?

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

I'm new to TIVO and tinkering with it's capabilites. I have a TIVO
Series 2, Toshbia RS-TX20. I've been making MP3 music compliations on
CD which play fine on the TIVO. I've tried many things to make a
playlist on the CD but nothing has worked. Every playlist I've tried
gets the error -

This folder does not contain any playable music.

Has anyone out there been able to make a CD with playlists?

Here is what I've tried. I'm using .m3u format from Windows Media
Player then hacking as needed to try and get it to work.

#EXTM3U this line always needed
#EXTINF:284,song1 this line list song name in playlist
../song1.mp3 this line has filename for the song


I've tried changing the last line which is the filename to the song but
nothing has worked.

..\song1.mp3
../song1.mp3
CD/song1.mp3
CD\song1.mp3


TIVO uses Linux so it should use forward slash "/" not PC style
backslash "\". I tired putting the song in a folder, no luck.

No I'm beginning to suspect that playlists only work with the media
option. TIVO will look for songs on the network but not on it's own
CD-ROM drive. Too bad. Hopefully there is something I haven't tried
to get TIVO playlists to work on CD.


Any help is appreciated.
