For all supported file types, it will either just shows them (like flac or dsf), or handled them then hide the files (like jpg, m3u, and cue).

The Plenue OS generally ignores all file types that it can't handle and hides them, like pdf for example, which you why you get an empty folder when folder browse to "Manual". Q10: how do I know my playlist is working and not due to buggy firmware?Ī10: if your m3u or cue files were generated and coded correctly, you will NOT see the playlist files once booted up the DAP, but instead see your playlists within the "Playlists" menu option. Although JetAudio is pretty old, it does allow you to make m3u with the correct scheme pretty quickly.Ī9: I downloaded CUETools 2.1.6 and it work the very first time.

Q8: do I need to use special software like MusicBee or JetAudio to make the playlists?Ī8: NO, but it will help when you have a big collection and want them in a list. Q7: do I need any meta tags from the files like title or artist?Ī7: nope, the Plenue OS ignores them when phasing the list, so there is no point to having them in the file, hence why EXTINF: has nothing to follow. \Folder One\Folder Two\Folder Three\My Music3.aacįILE "\Folder One\Folder Two\My Music1.dsf" WAVEįILE "\Folder One\Folder Two\Folder Three\My Music3.aac" WAVE This is why the Plenue OS is weird, as this normally will work for the extended m3u scheme.Ī5: this turns out to be super simple, just use a text editor and save the file as. Q4: what if I put my list under \Folder One, and use paths like \Folder Two\My Music.dsf within the list?Ī4: nope. However, if you only use the file name as the path, meaning \My Music.dsf, you will need to have the playlist in the same folder as the music files.

If the full path of your music FROM THE SD CARD within windows is D:\Folder One\Folder Two\My Music.dsf, and you use \Folder One\Folder Two\My Music.dsf as the path for the m3u or cue list, then you can put the playlist file anywhere WITHIN THE SAME DRIVE, and the Plenue OS will pick it up, phase it, and put it in the "Playlists" menu. Q3: since the path starts with a backslash, does it mean Plenue can handle dynamic path?Ī3: not really. Note, spaces are OK in the path reference and no need to use quotes. However, it CANNOT read URL style paths (/ and %20 and etc), and you have to use Windows style path reference (e.g., \Folder One\Folder Two\My Music.whatever). Q2: what do you mean by partial extended m3u support?Ī2: the Plenue OS is weird, as it does handle m3u coded in the official extended schema. Thanks.Ī1: Cue sheets (.cue) and partial extended m3u (.m3u). If you have a D2, then please post and let me know will this work or not. Note that I did started out with my Plenue D3, but it seems firmware 1.0.0 has a bug that fail to correctly handle m3u and cue lists. I have tested the methods with my Plenue V with firmware 1.13, but I can only assume this will work across the DAPs running the same OS.

Background: Due to complete lack of official guide on how Cowon Plenue series of DAPs handle playlist, I have decided to write this quick guide after quite a bit of searching and trial and error.
