...with a computer. How do I do it?

I'm using an iPod video (30gb), I've made .m3u playlists and put them on rockbox, but there's no playback.

I've read the manual, i've searched the forums, and still no answer.

The only thing i've found out is that I need to somehow change the directories on the playlists to the way it is on rockbox, or something along those lines.

So could someone help me somehow get the many playlists I have onto rockbox without having to make them in rockbox?

Thanks.

A little more info might be needed to help you here. How do you go about making your playlists, for example?

This leads me to another question... Do you make your playlists with the songs on your actual player or of a collection of songs on your computer?

I use Mediamonkey. I just create a new playlist and go to the songs and put them in.

It's a collection of songs on my computer.

Llorean:
So, out of curiosity, if the songs are on your player, and the playlist points to songs on your computer, how were you expecting them to play if it's not pointing to the real songs?

Because I wasn't exactly sure if that's what the playlist did, maybe it just found the songs based on the tags and played them, or something like that. I read something similar to this somewhere on the forums.

And because if it pointed to the songs on the iPod, then the directory would read like F:\Music, and I don't know if Rockbox can read it like that.

Basically, what i'm expecting to hear is either that it's not possible to do what i'm asking (Making playlists on the computer and import them onto my iPod), or that I should just make it point to the directory on the iPod.

And one more thing, I wasn't wholeheartedly thinking that it would work, only that it's worth a shot before I come asking for help. And now before I spend more time trying something else, I'd rather just know how to what I'm trying to do.

And one last thing, judging by how you asked your question, you know the answer to the question I'm asking. Would it hurt to have told me in your post? Can you maybe help me out now that I've answered you unnecessary question.

Thanks.
