More probable that the playlist items include windows specific paths, rather than the paths that the ReadyDLNA application can understand as commented on in the post previous to yours
Irrespective of carriage return/line feed, folder separator issues etc consider the example where your music is stored in the media share. The windows path used by WMP will be something like:
\\nasname\media\music\artist\album\track.mp3
or if you've mapped a share to a drive letter:
M:\music\artist\album\track.mp3
But ReadyDLNA has direct access to the NAS filesystem (it doesn't access the media via CIFS) and so will see the same file as:
/c/media/music/artist/album/track.mp3
So the difference in path (again, irrespective of the folder separator) means ReadyDLNA will not see the media at the same location and result in a "no tracks found" error. You'd have to create new versions of your playlists to overcome this
