Playing a list on a networked computer

ibdod · 17th January 2002, 02:35

I made a playlist of songs on my computer,
then went to go play that playlist on another computer
in my LAN. None of the songs will play. I have the folder
with my mp3s shared. I can't get the playlist to play on
any other computer but my own that has the mp3s on it.
How can I play saved playlist on another computer in a network?

Thanks

Is the computer that the playlist made on have the network computer's drive mapped? Did the other computer have the drive mapped? Did you use IPs or computer names? Open the Playlist in notepad, make sure the pointer to the files is right. Both systems have access to the computer with the songs, right?

I opened the playlist in notepad and changed the driveletter
to \\<my username> and it worked.
Thanks for the tip.
