Can I create a playlist in WMP and tranfer it over to Rockbox?
« on: May 12, 2009, 03:53:29 PM »
I'm looking for a easy way to create playlists and transfer them to rockbox.

I've tried creating a playlist in WMP and syncing that playlist and it copies all the files over, but the playlist itself doens't transfer.  Do I need a different app to synch or create playlist externally.

I took a quick looks at some of the playlist tools but I didn't see one that did filtering and drag and drop..

Is Jukebox Synchronizer any good for this?

Oh..  and Excellent work on RockBox! ;D

I just loaded atunes and it looks alittle promising..  Do you synch your music that way?  When I try to copy an album to device, it doesn't copy the folder structure.

How do you use atunes?

You can save your WMP playlists as .m3u files if you want, you just have to make sure when saving it to change the type to M3U rather than the WMP playlist format (whatever it is, .wpl or something I think...)

no, i dont, I use it to simply create playlists, i do prefer media monkey though. Tried winamp (didnt like), songbird(to itunes like). I actually add my music through the file browser, as this seems to make the most sense for me. Then i either make playlists through rockbox or MM.

aTunes does sync music slowly...

You could try using the data base feature to browse music by artists, and albums and what not
