Playlists on Cowon D3

[Artmuzz]

I am really pleased with my Cowon D3 and in my opinion it has a warmer sound than my J3 but one thing I don't like is that lack of a favorites or playlist function.

I recently installed WinAmp to give me the playlists and was delighted to find that I can use the Cowon's JetEffect BBE and EQ while using WinAmp but I don't know how to create a playlist. Please advise

Cheers

I think winamp has an add to playlist function and a recently played function.

I have no idea why the majority of android music apps do not support m3u or similar format playlists. It just boggles the mind.

Winamp is a poor android app since it doesn't allow one to use their brain (i.e. it's mindlessly copying Apple/Ipod) and browse by folder/file-tree as well as by tags.

Aside from Poweramp which I dislike since it randomly starts up and has no way to backup/export playlists, isn't there any other free Android App with playlists AND file-tree/folder browsing? Rockbox's playlist function doesn't seem to work on a non rooted device.

It is mind boggling that an Archos device from 8 years ago has a superior playlist function than a linux based device by Cowon which has numerous entities putting out apps for it.

cowon are all quiet again so hopeful this will be sorted soon

I have tried many music player apps Winamp/Poweramp/mplayer/rockbox/music player pro/jukefox and the stock app is the best and most consistant available so not far off come on Cowon.

Just came across ttpod music player v2.3 its free and after a quick look maybe promising dont have much time to test right now but if anyone else has some time

Just gave ttpod beta a try via xda forums a quick test.

Not sure if I missed something, however whilst it let me choose folders to add to the media library and I can browse by folder, all of them are shown in 1 list, rather than filetree. In addition, when you enter a folder, the files are sorted by tags rather than filename. I couldn't see anything in the options for configuring it to sort a folder's contents according to filename rather than tags.

Playlist function looked easy to work with for creating them via device. Going to check out the main thread at Xda-Dev and see if I'm missing an easy fix or if I can use a skin which adds this functionality. Oh, a couple of popups aren't in English. First was obviously a 'yes' or 'no' which is ok. The other was an option in the context menu when browsing.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to have a look round xda and see if there are any other apps which might work

Regarding stock amp, I like the way the browser is set up like a file explorer on a modern desktop/laptop and the general performance, functions, usability etc. However I seem to be unable to get the bookmarks feature working. When I load a bookmark later to resume, rather than continuing onto the next file in the folder which the bookmark comes from, the stock player continues onto the next file in the bookmarks list instead. Tried clicking the various options on the main playback screen and all I see is:
An icon of a folder which then displays the number '1' when pressed.
A circle (repeat I assume) which has a line through it when pressed (repeat off?)
2 parallel arrows which cross when pressed

That's it. Tried all permutations of the above and still can't get bookmarks working the way it would with the S9/J3. Anyone got some advice?

Update:
Just had a read on the Cowon site, it looks like the bookmarks function with the D3 is actually more like a single dynamic playlist. I know that the S9 had a favorites playlist which was like this AND a proper bookmarks function which made it a great device for spoken word like audiobooks, podcasts, lectures etc. Is this feature missing from the stock player at present?
