Finallt found out the problems/limitations of the MMCS with WPL playlists:

1) The WPL files must be saved in UTF-8 encoding (else national characters mess up things)
2) The character "&" must be replaced with "&"
3) Filname must be 80 chars or shorter (this is a MMCS limitation, works other places)

Now that it works I love it. Can add many albums to a playlist and random sort it when playing. Great!

Thanks for that. I spent ages trying to make .wpl playlists.
What program did you use to create the playlists.

I did like this:

1) Created a normal m3u playlist (I used Winamp)
2) Used the M3U to WPL connterer found at http://proletsoft.freeservers.com/mmb/m3utoasx.html
3) Replaced "&" with "&" and saved in UTF-8 (used Notepad2)
4) Removed the absolute file-path start (like D:\Music). Needs to be relative to the root

Here is an example of a playlist:

Code: 
<?wpl version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Yep thanks, works great.

With notepad2 you need to change default encoding to utf-8 otherwise it will default back to ANSI when you save the .wpl
 
Code: 
<?wpl version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Did you upgrade your speakers? No way would the factory fitted do justice to the base settings required for your playlist!!
