question about Playlist Creater program

[cooltwou]

how do i use this program to make a Playlist using both my SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4GB & my Micro SD Card 16 GB class 4 & the version is 3.6.2

I can't tell you about that program specifically, but in general a playlist is just a list of file locations that rockbox will sequentially load and play.

If you want to use the sd card, I recommend saving the playlist file on the sd card, which makes it more likely that the paths will reference the correct storage.

well I want to know use the program because I have tried to use the in Rockbox & I couldn't figure it & that program looks like it be easy to use compared to what I am stuck with now

I answered this question a while ago:

Rockbox playlists are not "ROCKBOX" playlists, they are just "STANDARD" playlists...

SO: you've found a program called "playlist creator"...

Ask on THEIR forum?

- This is NOT A ROCKBOX QUESTION.
- There are THOUSANDS OF OPTIONS.
- GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.
- I personally use the "vi" program.  (That response was judged to be "not incorrect", but "not a helpful answer").
- These are just TEXT FILES.
- It is possible that your analog of "vi" might be called "notepad".
- MOST music player programs on MOST platforms can also manipulate playlists.

If you can read and believe everything I just said, you'll be well on your way to finding an approach that works for you...

Note, I think the playlist format was originally invented by the WinAmp program?  I could be wrong about that.

Here is a good STARTING point:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U

From what I've seen, you should start by understanding what an M3U file is, using "notepad"...

That understanding will help GREATLY to use a utility like "playlist creator" (whatever that is)...

that has nothing to with the topic at all & you should not respond unless it has to do with the topic

And the topic has nothing to do with Rockbox. His answer was perfectly ok. Adjust your attitude, and stop abusing the report function. An answer you don't like doesn't mean it's ok to report it.

Failing to do so means you're risking a ban.

Yes it does have to do with Rockbox & I seen people talking about using this program on your forms

You're welcome to ask about it here, but its not really a rockbox question.  You're essentially just asking how to use some random piece of software that is unlikely to be used by people reading this thread.  Probably no one will know, but maybe you'll get lucky.
