How to get my iTunes Playlists/ratings onto rockbox

(1/8) > >>

HiddenShadow:
I've tried looking everywhere (or maybe every wrong place) and couldn't find any info about getting my iTunes playlists onto rockbox, I've tried transfering itunes playlists to winamp to make a m3u/pls (which ever rockbox uses, forgot what i did back then..) which failed horribly since I could only make it with the mp3s pathed on my local disk instead of my ipod. So, does anyone know how to transfer iTunes playlists or ratings to the database in rockbox?

Im sort of looking for something other than, "start over and re rate all your songs and redo your playlists", however just figuring out how to do the ratings will suffice, but I'd still like to know how to do both.

bluebrother:
There are 3rd party tools that allow exporting your itunes playlists to m3u, which can be read by Rockbox. If those playlists keep the correct folder structure Rockbox will work fine with them -- an added drive letter will get stripped.

You can't convert itunes ratings to Rockbox.

HiddenShadow:
Ok, thanks, but is it possible to convert the playlist and then make every track in that playlist rated (like make then all 10's etc)? or is it just easier to add tracks i like by adding tracks onto the pre-existing playlist instead of changing the ratings?

Chronon:
Doesn't iTunes use a database for all of that stuff?  Rockbox just uses standard M3U playlists so I'm not sure what you mean by storing the rating in the playlist.

The database has a rating system in place, does it not?
