Playlists before installing Rockbox

[lukas_s]

Is there any way of viewing the playlists that I had set up on my 5G iPod Video through iTunes in Rockbox? Right now I can view my music by artist/album/track and such, but not by the playlists that I had previously set up.

No, you have to re-set the playlists up in m3u format (the playlist format that rockbox uses).

Thanks.

Is there a guide or anything explaining how to do that?

M3U is a very standard format for playlists, used by huge numbers of programs.  Have a look on google, or search the forums.

Thanks for the help.

One more question. Once I convert my playlists to an agreeable format, how do I go about making sure they show up in Rockbox? I'm not seeing anything that explains this.

If you save them as m3u, they will show up in the file browser. Just select one to play it.
