playlist converter rockbox to sansa OF (m3u->pla)

[gratt]

I have made a viewer plugin  playlist converter for the Sansa E200's running rockbox.
It's in the flyspray patch tracker (6884), under playlists.
This will allow rockbox created playlists (m3u/8)to be converted to
a (.pla) playlists that will work in the Sansa original firmware.

I am now trying to do a (.pla) -> (.m3u/8)
original firmware to rockbox playlist converter.
I am having trouble reading the .pla files as they have
null bytes between each character.
Any ideas would be welcome.

If you are seeing NUL bytes every other character, odds are it's in Unicode.

OK, but how do i read it and remove the null bytes

(edit)
I finally figured this out.
I am using
           rb->utf16LEdecode(utf16-buffer, empty-buffer, size_of_file);
to convert a char buffer of the entire file at once.

Thanks to everyone on #rockbox irc that pointed me in the right direction.
