hey guys
have been looking for this since a few days already.i have a RockBoxed Sansa Fuze v2.
now i have used ipods for some time and like the playlist and shuffle features they carry with them.like shuffle all the collection and u r good to go (i still havent found out how to shuffle and play all songs on RockBox), also the genius feature is quite cool. the question is, are there any ways to export these Genius playlists and run them on RockBox? or better if any utility would allow me to AutoDJ the songs, anything like that?
i use MediaMonkey, if thats needed.and My Sansa is a 4GB + 16GB microSDHC

please do tell me how to shuffle all songs in my player.

You should really read the manual before asking questions here ;)
To give you an idea, you need to set the repeat mode to "All", and the easiest way to play all tracks on the player is to use the Database (after it is initialized), as it will play all files without looking at the directory they are in.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about turning on shuffle.

Is a "Genius playlist" different then a regular playlist?

Thanks gbl08ma.

hey saratoga
genius playlists are based on ratings collected from people using itunes all over the world.loosely saying, these playlists contain "songs that go well together".its like i select a song in my library, and use the "make genius playlist" option, and a playlist with songs that go well with the selected songs is created (ofcourse all the songs in this playlist are from my library)
iTunes collects the data on the computer, and delivers it to the iPod too, and so we can make Genius playlists on the go too. but, i'd just like to have a way to use these playlists on RockBox (let iTunes do the genius stuff, and implement the playlist on my player)

So I guess the answer is "no its just a regular playlist".  Try saving it as an M3U file and it should work in rockbox.
