Content Transfer 1.1 and iTunes 8.2 playlists

[cecilbdemented]

Since I installed iTunes 8.2, when I transfer a playlist, Content Transfer gives me the following message:

Failed to transfer this playlistԼ Liste du Jour

where Liste du Jour is the name of the playlist.

It seems like a character set problem that was introduced in 8.2 playlists. Anyone having the same problems.

I contacted Sony Belgium and I almost started crying: they know nothing about their products. The lady didn't know what AAC was, didn't know Content Transfer, and wondered why I was using iTunes. When I told here the AAC compatible version of mediaplayer on the CD was outdated and windows didn't want to replace my newer version she even had to admit that she couldn't find a more recent version on the support site. The end comment was:" but you have already version 11". Yeah, well, she obviously never heard of versioning after the decimal sign.

*sigh*.

Anyone can help me, or at least has the same problem?

Thanks; and Sony Belgium, please improve support, it hurts for Sony techies to listen to those people.

Yep - same problem here. It's definitely an incompatibility between iTunes 8.2, as the problem only appeared after the update. I was annoyed, but I just turned to using windows explorer drag and drop from my iTunes library. I haven't contacted Sony, but I hope they are aware of this problem and are working on a fix. For now I suggest just using drag and drop - takes a bit longer but I prefer that to using WMP

But how do I create playlists then? they should be in .pla format I guess? Any tips?

Oh - sorry, I was only really replying to the bit about Content Transfer not working with iTunes in general, as I have that problem with transfering albums. I haven't actually gotten round to creating playlists yet (I'm too used to using on the fly playlists on my HD3!), so I can't help you there.. I did google "create playlists using windows explorer" and stumbled upon this: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/mess...p;thread.id=930 but I don't know if it will be of any help. Sorry I can't help more - I was just letting you know I've got this problem too.

Tracks transferring works with 8.2! Just make sure you layout your library as a list, otherwise iTunes sees it as a playlist and that gives problems!
