I have all my MP3's on 3 machines and a bunch of playlists created on one of them. Copying the playlists to the other machines isn't working properly, some albums don't link to any songs, some link to all of them and some are 1/2 and 1/2. All were created the same though. Any ideas on how to get them working on the other machines?

Right-click and edit the playlist file, make sure the filepaths are all pointing to the same place. You might find that some files are using absolute links and therefore not working any more.

I've opened them up already. All paths start <media src="..\..\..\MP3 instead of d:\mp3. It's easy enough to do a replace but i want to know exactly how they work. Here's an example playlist:

The only song that can play on the other machines is the first which has tid="{1747A2EF-1785-475D-8A30-380826DDC066}" on the end. I just dont't know why its the only one with one.
