Playlist Compatibility between Rockbox & iTunes (iPod)
blueskip:
The music was tranferred using itunes.
I was talking to bascule before. He seems to be on the right track.
Llorean:
Yes, but the iTunes question was relevant to that track
If they're transfered to iTunes, iTunes renames them. Whatever tool you use to create your playlist, you MUST be creating the playlist with the songs actually on your iPod (the physical files).
It looks like you have MediaMonkey creating it based on your library of songs on the computer, not the files on your iPod.
AlexP:
He is. The point is though that when itunes transfers your music, it renames all the tracks to random four letter file names, and puts them in random directories. Therefore any playlists you make before transferring with itunes will not work afterwards.
bascule:
That looks OK from a syntax point of view.
Rockbox is smart enough to ignore the Drive letter and the slashes can be either way round ('/' = Linux, '\' = Windows), so that should work, provided the filepath you quoted does actually point to a genuine file on the disk.
Was it generated my MM or ItunesExport? - which will help with BigBambi's line of reasoning...
blueskip:
We're all talking about the same issue. I fully understand where you're coming from. What I'm looking for is the solution. I don't care what I use to make the playlist OTHER than rockbox. I just need something to recreate them. I can easily remove the music and retransfer it .... oooh that may be the answer.
Then I could just access it from MediaMonkey using the ipod as a drive and create the lists from there. I think that might work. Then the names and the music would match.
MediaMonkey recognizes itunes filenames and synch to them ....SWEET I just figured it out. I just have to access the drive in MediaMonkey and view the playlists then select them and export them as .m3u files. I just tried it and it works.
bascule got me in the right direction by looking at the playlist files. The new ones are correct. Too cool. I can convert them straight from itunes now.
