Works for me with version 1.0.8, and at the time the playlist/favorites section was written, I was on a firmware like 1.0.2. Your issue is the first that I've heard of - my only suggestion would be to downgrade and see if that helps (search this thread for my Google Drive firmware versions, public releases are all here). If it doesn't work, you can create playlists manually (I haven't tried it, but I will show you how it looks manually, if anyone has issues, let me know and I'll make changes).
How to create a manual playlist (for the PC, substitute with Mac applications for Mac users)
1. Open Notepad
2. Write this (inside quotation marks) - "#EXTM3U"
3. Press Enter
4. Each track that you want on your playlist will correspond to the drive location ("a:" is internal, "b:" is left and "c:" is right micro SD card locations) and track name (exactly shown on your internal drive and micro SD card(s). For instance, one of my playlist songs is:
"#EXTINF:0,07 - Bloodstream.flac
b:\Ed Sheeran\[2015] X [Wembley Edition] [FLAC]\07 - Bloodstream.flac"
The "0,07" means it is the 7th song in the album. "b:" corresponds to the fact that the song is located in my left micro SD card slot ("a:" is internal, "b:" is left and "c:" is right micro SD card locations).
The rest of the track name is the hierarchy of the folder/track path.
5. Once you are done, save the file as "playlist1". You can save it as a .txt file.
6. Exit out of Notepad and navigate to the saved file. Make sure file extensions are enabled/can be shown. Change ".txt" to ".m3u".
7. Place the "playlist1" file in a folder called "playlist" in your internal QP1R drive.
8. Create additional "playlist[x]" files for additional playlists, if you choose, all placed in the "playlist" folder in your internal QP1R drive.
Thanks a ton, Sir!
Manual playlist creation is good enough (and the fact that I'm more comfortable of creating a Playlist on the PC rather than manually adding song 1 by 1 on the device).
Really appreciate your effort to help out
Only two things I can think to ask, both just to cover all bases. The Home key is the little house shape upper left of the scroll wheel. The other is that the toolbar is located just above that Home key on the display going horizontally from the left side. Assuming that is what you are pressing and where you are looking, I would guess it is problem with the key hardware.
Yeah, basic 101
I do hope it was not a hardware problem though..
Will try a couple of FW as workaround as suggested by Mr. Moe, if still not helping out, hope the manual Playlist creation helps.
Thank you for your response, Sir!
