Hi,
I currently do not own an S9 (Just researching on it as it is something I'm thinking of buying eventually) as such can't test the problems I've been reading on it, so I'm hoping some of you owners of it could help me out.
1 - I read the m3u playlist support for the S9 is still wonky, and does not work for every m3u generator. I read that even with using Winamp, the S9 will not see more than 5 songs in the generated m3u playlist. (Via usb hard drive mode on Cowon S9, then generating the m3u with winamp while the songs are in the S9 already) Is this still true with the current firmware? This is really important to me as I want to keep it in MSC mode and use m3u for playlists.
2 - What is the maximum functioning playlist count for the S9 while it is in USB hard drive mode (Ie. # of m3u playlists in the root directory)? I read some conflicting counts on this (Anywhere from only 1 working playlist at a time (Due to Bug?) to an indefinite count). I also remember reading that they may get deleted out of nowhere if you switch between MTP and MSC modes?
3 - Are there any bugs in having playlist(s) with multiple file types being used at the same time (Ie. Flac, MP3, Ogg at the same time)?
4 - This is vague, but I have also been reading that playlists (regardless of whether the S9 is in MTP or MSC, and regardless of how the playlist was created) sometimes have missing songs. What causes this?
5 - Are songs in playlists when displayed by S9 arranged by how they are in the playlist or does the S9 default to the song's track # or names alphabetically?
6 - Not really a problem, just some general questions. When dragging songs into the S9, can they be organized in their own folders, or do they all have to be in some specific folder only? Do they (The actual files and the folders) all have to be in english, or can I use other languages for the folders such as Chinese and Korean? Also, how is the album art detected? (Specifically named jpg, embedded, something else?)
Thanks.
