Sansa Playlists
Llorean:
You needed to use a program to use Rockbox because you were unwilling to accept the fact that it's designed as a stand-alone application that runs on the hardware.
If you put a different game disc in your XBox, you don't complain that your complete savegame from Halo doesn't mean you can load up at the final fight in Half Life. They're two separate pieces of software that run on the same hardware. Though in this case, not even the underlying operating system is the same.
For quite some time we didn't even offer WMA, a format supported by the original firmware of several of the devices we run on.
evilnick:
I don't see that you had to write this VBScript in order to *use* Rockbox. You felt that you needed to write it in order to use Rockbox *the way you wanted to*. That is a big difference. And also, once you've done it (and shared it) then anyone else who wants to use Rockbox in the same way as you will be able to.

To convert .pla to m3u/8 and m3u/8 to .pla.

From what I read that only converts from m3u -> pla which does me no good, I need to go from pla -> m3u.

Read it again...
mdouet:
If any other Sansa users are having problems importing their Sansa playlists into RockBox, here is a program I wrote that will allow you to convert the playlists on your player (\PLAYLISTS\*.pla) to a format that can be read by the RockBox firmware. Feel free to read the VBScript code (open in your favorite text editor) if you're concerned that this is a milacious script:

Enjoy!

You are the only one who needs to do that.

What part of:
This new version converts from (m3u8->pla) or (m3u->pla)
Rockbox playlist to Sansa Original Firmware playlist
and from (pla->m3u8)
you don't understand?
