Default Playlists being deleted

Whenever I copy an .m3u playlist onto the device, when it does the 'updating multimedia library' scan it is deleting my playlist. Anybody else having this problem? No matter where I put the file the scan finds it and deletes it.

I have been having problems with playlists disappearing, but did not associate it with the f'ing scan.

put .nomedia in the directory and see if that helps.

I thought it was the player I was using - justplaylists

JustPlaylists does find them and you should be able to launch them directly with your preferred player by putting a blackmoon or ES shortcut to the file on your home screen.
