Transferring Playlists from Sansa firmware to RockBox
« on: March 30, 2009, 09:55:06 AM »
Anybody know how to get all of my songs which I have downloaded on to my Sansa e260,  using the Sansa firmware, transferred over to the Rockbox firmware.

I downloaded the Rockbox firmware onto my Sansa, but when I bring it up, there are no playlists in it.  However, when I revert to the old Sansa firmware, my playlists come up.

Is there an easy way to get them over to RockBox on the player?  There are close to 1,000 songs on the thing!!!!  I tried to backload them onto my PC but they all come up as PMA files...which is foriegn to me and which my PC does not support.

Please help!!!!

The songs are accessible in Rockbox already.  You need to either browse to the correct directory (/MUSIC is hidden by default by the SanDisk firmware) or initialize the database in Rockbox.  To use the playlists that you created with the original firmware you need to find an application that will read that format and allow you to export to a standard .m3u playlist.
