DICE Silverline iPod Playlist order

[Kewl X5]

Okay, someone else who has a DICE Silverline installed, please let me know how your DICE Silverline handles your Playlist order.

I go to one of my custom playlist and the order of the songs are arranged alphabetically by their albumn....It doesn't follow the custom order arrangement of my custom playlist.

on my ipod i have songs, artists and playlists...i did not put the songs by each artist into their respective albums. albums do not exist on my ipod.

my dice plays accesses the artists within each playlist alphabetically and plays the songs under each artist in the order they were downloaded by itunes.

After playing around with itunes and the dice setting, I found out that the DICE Silverline plays the playlist in alphabetical order based on album names. Then if no album names are available or if your playlist is an album itself it will play it according to the track # of each song. Then, if there are no track# set, it will play the playlist in alphabetical order based on artist name.

PLAY ORDER OF PLAYLIST:
1. Album name
2. track #
3. Artist name
4. and so on........

So i think there is no fix to this SH*T. (unless u mess up ur itunes library)

But nevertheless its still a good IPOD interface coz u could still browse playlist, artist, album thru the radio....

use the random feature of the head unit to shuffle within each playlist.

Actually, DICE needs to update the firmware to fix this bug! Otherwise, I agree that the DICE SILVERLINE browses the Playlist, Songs, etc. much quicker than the original DICE.

Let me shoot this information over to DICE and see if they are planning an update or are aware of the issue.

Thanks for the heads up - we've been in contact with DICE's engineers since the issue was brought up during the install of Kewl X5's SILVERLINE module.

DICE is already aware of the situation and seeing what the possible cause/fix is.

You know I realized this same issue after installing my new silverline last night (and having already sent my original unit back to BSW!). Frankly I find it unbelievable that something this simple wasn't discovered during testing. I discovered this problem within the first 2 minutes of using the device.

Other than this issue the silverline works well but this is pretty disappointing to say the least.

Additionally my new silverline stops the ipod when it reaches the end of a playlist rather than cycling back to the beginning. 'Stopped' appears on the screen and it just sits there.
