Only 15 tracks shown in user interface!
are the tracks marked as disabled in itunes?
no they're not. If I stop v6.0 and start v5.4 (both are configured to use the same playlist dir) the playlist is loaded, displayed and played correctly. So I'm fairly sure it's not iTunes or the files!
dan, I'm guessing this is better off in your capable hands
My guess is this is the same as bug 1226?
James - this does look like the same bug. Also - when you view the playlist, what program are you using? We write out a UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark), which is the gibberish you're seeing at the beginning. Most editors should ignore it. Are you using notepad? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1226 ***
I think I was using VIM
