- Man I am getting sick of this;
Every time I synch my iTunes music to Playbook all my playlists dissapear. In order to get them back I have to use Air Browser to delete all the music off the device, then re-synch (for a couple hours) in order for the DM to get it right.
So adding a few songs turns into a huge hassle getting them on the Playbook. Awesome.02-15-12 10:45 AMLike 0 - I've run into the same thing with orphaned files and weird syncing, manual drag & drop works best if you want it to work.
My complaint is that I have a playlist of nothing but mp3-audio Podcasts within iTunes, and the Mac BB Desktop Manager doesn't sync any of the track so the playlist ends up blank.
Even though it functionally works very well at audio playback (size isn't too big, control buttons usable without looking, battery lifetime on music playback is about the same as if it were just in standby) I have stopped using it for that at all until there is something more than a token app (can't handle audiobooks/podcasts by remembering track position, syncing hiccups, can't add one track to a playlist twice, no sleep/wake integration with alarm, can't sort according to different categories, some other weird things I'm forgetting) just like the PDF reader is absolutely minimal02-15-12 11:51 AMLike 0 - Man I am getting sick of this;

It seems like a bug, though, and I hope it's fixed on 2.0. If not, I could still live with it because I know that after I sync, I'm not going to be able to use the PB to play the music or playlists I just put on for an hour or so.

For some reason, the PB takes forever to read/scan the music and related info it synced -- in particular the playlists. If you have keep music on your BB, you'll note that it's somewhat similar to the scanning of the music SD card that a BB does every time you reboot or disconnect from a USB sync.
