You can convert the UNIX newlines that modern Mac programs create to DOS newlines with "sed 's/$/^M/' file.old > file.new", where "^M" is a literal "control m" character. You can type that on the command line using control-v control-m.

I guess you probably should get one. Or at least try making a directory with a shorter name. You can get a 2014 (recent enough for current OS) Mac Mini for $300 here. https://www.macofalltrades.com/shop/apple-desktops/mac-mini/ ... I dare say you can do better locally. Or hackintosh it. This...

Certain applications (finder, ls, etc) hide files starting with a dot, but they're not special at the OS level. Windows has an explicit file system level "hidden" flag that equivelent applications (DIR, File Explorer) use to hide files. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. There's one other...

The only characters you can't have in a UNIX file name are null and slash.

I have now tried creating the directory on the Mac first, and it ends up with two file system entries with the same name which is completely broken. Windows doesn't have a problem with directories created on the Mac, even with weird names (including directories and files with Japanese names in...

I did mention that I added one song (Welcome to the Machine) to it? I since noticed that the file shows up in the file browser interface on the m0, but I can't see it on my Mac, either USB connected to the m0 or with the card in an SD reader. It's like the file system driver on the m0 is not...

Attempting to follow the final suggestion using a fresh playlist with one song in it (Welcome to the Machine) and no _explaylist_data folder is created. If I manually create the folder no playlist is created in it.

I don't know whether anyone else has brought this up but my biggest current problem with the m0 is that it's too easy for it to accidentally turn on in my backpack, and by the time I get to therapy or somewhere else I need the background music it's flat or almost flat. Is there any way to add...

Apple is currently getting blasted for not having "export playlists as XML" in the new Music app on Catalina. So if you're using iTunes playlists in any of your workflows you need to stay with Mojave.

I bought through Amazon, and they limit my access to the reseller. I can ask for a refund on the product but that's about it as far as I can tell.

Can I get a replacement for my defective USB cable (see previous post, it was what was keeping me from uploading files directly)?

On Windows only, it seems. I suppose I could write an Applescript to fix it.

Why not fallback to artist? I mostly only have Album Artist set if Artist is not the same across the album. Not deliberately, just what I noticed when I flipped this on.

Does it have an automatic level balancer like iTunes "Sound Check"? If not, is it possible to add one? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201724

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

I have 16,000 tracks so that's not happening. I guess the answer is "no". So I guess that's a feature request. It should be easy to implement, just add it to the "About m0" page.

Not helping with the question I asked. I'm not asking "why is the m0 not seeing all the tracks?" I'm asking "how can I tell how many tracks the m0 is seeing?" There does not seem to be any way to tell.

Is there any way to see how many tracks are in the library or the current album or playlist? I'm not sure "Update" is catching all the tracks. It should be seeing something like this:

OK, then it's a bad cable. I'd have tried that sooner but had to buy one... I didn't have an A-C cable lying around. Here's a script for converting raw iTunes playlists (in a subdirectory of your working directory, eg ~/Playlists/raw) to ones that are compatible with the m0, to go into the root...

I switched to a known good USB3-A to USB-C cable instead of the one that came with the player, and that seems to have fixed my file access problem on the Mac. I also tested it on Ubuntu 18.04 with the exfat-fuse/bionic filesystem driver and it works with the same cable. I don't know if it works...

That's not "documented". Documented means you have a document on your website explaining it, and a user looking for it on your website can find the documentation. I'm actually trying to help here. Documentation is important. That advanced PDF you linked is pretty good, but it's too hard to...

This should be linked from the website, surely? I looked all over en.shanling.com and found nothing. Did I miss something? If not, this needs to be added. I don't use Windows, the playlist files I use are generated by Itunes on Mac, and I can write a script to convert them to whatever the m0...

What do you put in the m3u files? I put the file in Playlists/Black & Blue.m3u and have tried giving paths relative to the root (like iTunes/iTunes Music/Bright Eyes...etc...), absolute (like /iTunes/...), and relative to the playlists directory (like ../iTunes/...), and moved the playlist to...

Is there any documentation anywhere about how the internal playlists work? I selected playlists, hit plus, it created an empty "Playlist1" but I can't do anything with it. I did find one video about it, but it's super minimal (it didn't cover anything I hadn't figured out just playing with it)...

Has it been added and do you have any documentation on it? The documentation that comes with the device is kind of minimal.
