Old drive is out of the unit. Too unstable. I did a fids copy to the new drive and put it to rest.

I have all of my music on there, and adding new music seems to work.

The problem is with adding a new playlist. That's why I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. i.e. using jemplode or adding it to a playlist via ctl+y. I gave up after 2 fsck's since it was driving me mad!.

Perhaps I need to create a playlist empty then sync then add tunes to it. Funny cause the music I added was via drag and drop with folder structures that created new playlists and that went fine...

Hmm alpha must really mean play with this at your own peril and risk of hair loss....
