Huh, I offered a couple of solutions here:

including the fact tha winamp does support m3u.

You are actually the only one that I know who have problems creating playlists.

We support .m3u's - which are a standard format.

How can you say you support Sansa if you don't support their playlist format?

The only solution you offered me isn't acceptable. I already created playlists in Winamp, I'm not going to recreate them again just so I can play them in RockBox. A more elegant solution would be to have a program that converts between pla and m3u, you have not supplied that solution. And I am not the only one experiencing this problem, read the boards, there are several other users having this same issue. I'm a software developer, so if II'm having these types of issues using this firmware, just image what issues a normal user is having. Someone needs to write a plugin to allow you to convert your pla playlists to m3u on the fly because doing it manually is BS.
GodEater:
Because we support the hardware - NOT the crumby firmware and it's features that it shipped with.
We don't do the same thing for any of the other players we have as targets, and don't plan on making any exceptions for the sansa.
bascule:
The aim of Rockbox is not to support all the original features of the device. If a model is 'supported', it means Rockbox runs on it.
We also do not 'support' iPod playlists or database format.

Then your soltuion is broken IMO, I shouldn't have to do extra work just to use your product.
