• Convert iTunes playlist .m3u playlist

  So I downloaded my playlists iTunes from my old computer to a hard drive in the hope of transferring these playlists on my new mac computer. I saved all the playlist in a folder on my desktop, but when I click to open them, they open in iTunes with the correct name, but as empty playlists. I was able to transfer all my music on my new computer, but the songs that are in my playlists in fact do not in the playlist on iTunes.

  I think that the reason for this is because all playlists are saved in .m3u, but the content of them is in .mp3 format, that's why I thought it would just transfer via automatically when I open iTunes.

  For example, I have a playlist called Down.m3u bite, but the songs in the playlist are registered like this:

  #EXTINF: 170, no. better - better of Lorde/users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes/Media/music/Lorde/No - Single/01 no. Better.mp3

  Basically, I need help getting all the songs in mp3 from the m3u playlist in the playlist corresponding iTunes.

  Any ideas?

  You always have access to your old computer, with its intact iTunes library?  If so, the best way to transfer playlists is to transfer your iTunes complete (including your database files and media in whole iTunes library) folder.  Then, when you run iTunes on the new Mac, it looks like iTunes on your old computer, with all the songs and playlists.

• M3u playlists appearing is not on e260

  Hi people,

  I know this question has probably been answered, but I tried searching and have not been able to find an answer.

  I have a Sansa e260 4 GB.

  I sync music on the drive using Winamp in the MUSIC folder and the play list m3u resulting in the folder selections. Through windows Explorer, I can see the playlists on the disc.

  However, when I disconnect the player and the player goes through the process of updating database, all I see is the playlist default 'Go '. My new playlists do not appear on the drive at all! The music is there in the music folder.

  I tried saving them as a playlist PLS, I tried to M3U playlists in the music folder, I tried to change playlists so that it does not contain the bar oblique leader etc, but nothing works, just playlists refuse is displayed in the player.

  It took me a long time to get the music synchronized using Winamp (I tried itunes agent, motorola media link, etc.), but this company playlist completely beat me.

  Someone please help!

  Thanks, I'll try it.

  In the meantime, I found this post http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17045 and used the PLAme program mentioned in it and has been able to create playlists of pla of the music that was on the Sansa.

  So, for someone else who happen to come across this post, here's what I did:

  Portable function 1) used Winamp to sync music on the microSD 4 GB drive, and 2 GB. Winamp has been used only for its synchronization function. Import you music and playlists from iTunes. I placed the music F:\Music and G:\Music, where F = 4 and G = 2 GB disks on my computer.

  (2) once the synchronization has been made, I used the program of PLAme to create playlists PLA and placed them in F:\Playlists.

  I can PLAY the MP3s in WMP 12 located on the disk external hard either right click on the MP3 indidvidual and choosing to PLAY, or through WMP by selecting the Playlist itself. Playlist on had ", music on am"-I can listen to.

  But it is not good IF I can't sync with my Sansa Clip more. I found an old thread were the OP had such a problem that I encounter, but the only response has been to change the selection from playlist M3U extension file. And I do not know if it worked or even HOW to do it.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  WMP don't like external drives. He thinks that you are trying to make copies and give them to friends.

  You may need to synchronize the files in the Clip while they are on the computer and then moving to hard drive for storage.

  WMP stores the selections as its own owners .wpl files. You can also save them as files with indications here .m3u (expand "to create a normal playlist")

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/create-change-Media-Player-regular-playlist#1TC=Windows-7

  You can also try Winamp, www.winamp.com, who will also play for the Clip lists. Winamp's m3u playlists.

  I use playlists, so I can't give you much help. Help WMP and Winamp should have more detailed instructions playlist.

• Songs of parentheses do not appear in the playlist

  Hello

  I have a problem regarding the use of playlists with my Sansa Clip +. My tracks in the music / folder are sorted by artists. I have a special artist folder called '(various)' (the parentheses make this folder appears at the top in my library) where ranger various artists who are not owned by an album titles (and for these tracks, mp3 tag 'Artist' is equal to '(various)').

  The problem is these titles do not appear in my playlists. I have no problem browsing these tracks via the menu 'Artists', I have no problem see the titles of 'real' artists in my playlists, and I have no problem see titles that contain a parentheses in their name in my playlists.

  Is there any solution for this? I'm doing something wrong? Is my only option to rename this folder '(various) "?

  PS: I use .m3u playlists. Here is an excerpt from a playlist:

  ..\Music\(Miscellanous)\2Pac vs. Gramatik - I Wonder If Heaven Got A Stairway.mp3
  ..\Music\Astronote\The Raw Tape\08 Astronote - 90's Love.mp3
  ..\Music\GRiZ\Mad Liberation\09 GRiZ - Better Than Ive Ever Been.mp3
  ..\Music\DJ Shadow\Endtroducing\02 DJ Shadow - Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt.mp3
  ..\Music\(Miscellanous)\Chaptabois - Commercial Joint (Instrumental).mp3
  

  And here is the architecture of the files to my Sansa Clip +:

  Root/
      Music/
            (Miscellaneous)/
            Artist 1/
            Artist 2/
  ...
      Playlist/
               playlist A.m3u
               playlist B.m3u
  ...
  

  OK... found where my problem comes from... it's stupid. The playlist was not properly trained: file was the name '(various)' instead of "(MiscellanEUO)". " Do not see it at the first glance, sorry for this post wrong.

  Thanks for your help though!

• Problem of playlist - wish could someone explain...

  Have a 8 GB Fuze w / 32G HCMD.

  Use WMP on MTP sync music and playlists. Firmware update and he's a player of version 1.

  I wish someone could tell me why, after sync about 28 or so GB of music, playlists on the external hard drive will disappear from the playlist screen.  With the help of Windows Explorer displays playlists are always on the "rocket", but does not arise.

  Can someone here explain this?

  I tried to use other programs, but quit because of drive problems (not recognizing my music than WMP).

  I tried the formatting, re-formatting, etc..

  Frankly, I'm at the point of talking to anyone who listen - for a large capacity device "STAY the HELL away a SANSA PALYER - PERIOD!

  Playlists of PLA (made like WMP) format go to the folder selections you drive. These can include the music of the internal memory and external memory card.

  Playlists m3u format go to the folder (drive or card) music along with your music. This format can contain only files from a single source; your internal memory or external card, but not both. So if your playlist is composed of music from your internal memory, you will put the playlist file in the folder music on your player. If it is a playlist of music from your memory card, you would put this playlist file in the music folder on your card.

  I don't know if there is a limit to how many playlists, although there is a limit on the number of titles, you can put in each playlist. On the "rocket", I think it's 1,000 titles.

  Your complaint is not unique, however, we have heard several people over the years who have had the same problem. Music/playlists "synchronized" with WMP disappear from the memory card, leaving only the 1st one created.

  I'm not sure that there is an easy solution. I don't have my rocket anymore, but I use a 2 step process that works on my series e200 and Clip + and Clip players Zip, so I guess it would work also on the "rocket". I create format .m3u playlists in Winamp. Since the music I tend to put in the playlists usually happen to be distributed between the sources of 2 memory and I don't want to juggle them around, I then convert to a format (with a conversion program) .pla, the reader will read the traces from the internal memory or the card.

  Your mileage (and needs) may differ, but it works for me.

• Playlist formats

  Apparently, my Ford Fusion is not compatible with the default playlist format (.) Uses PLA) than Windows Media Player.  I am able to do WMP to save playlists in the.

PLA format anyway (even if this file does not exist?).  Manually remove the. PLA file and copy the. For the Sansa M3U file doesn't seem to work.  Is there a way to synchronize between WMP and the Sansa as it transfers one. M3U playlist file?  I should mention that my music collection is stored on a hard disk of the computer other than the C: drive that contains my /My Music /My Playlist folder.  Maybe that's a problem?  If so, can I change the storage location of playlist by default other that the c: drive?  There is not enough space on my C: drive for all my music. Thanks for any help!

  If your stereo indexes unit, or trying to, you really need to find instructions for your stereo, because the stereo is running the firmware of its own - it is not let the Sansa choose music.

  Stereo instructions should tell you what USB mode it expects and what kind of playlists, it reads.

  My guess is that the car radio just waiting to find the stored music - mode MSC (Mass Storage Class), which you can use on the Sansa, making your USB connection see it as simple storage rather than a media (mode MTP/Media Transfer Protocol) device.

  Your computer cannot see a mode at a time. When you change the mode of the Canada meteorological service, the music you sent to PSG becomes invisible to the computer. The Sansa is still when you disconnect, but you probably want to stick to a single mode.

  In fact, it may end up being easier to make a pendrive of 32GB, put your music on it (and possibly with Winamp m3u playlists) and let the car radio the rest.

  Moreover, PLA playlists always read as 0kb.  There is much more on playlists here:

• Playlists Freakin stupid.

  OK maybe Im having one day stupid, but is it possible to delete a playlist and have it remove all of the songs in this playlist? For example, I have a playlist of Christmas music, I'm ready to get rid of him, that I have to manually go delete the playlist file and remember the songs in this playlist, and delete them too? Or y at - there a way to do this in one step?

  WMP11, Media Monkey v3,

  2g, 2g SD, Vista PC of detonators

  When it comes to remove the playlist file and also the song themselves files, then you need to remove both. Removal of the playlist is only; simply remove the playlist file. You will have to go through and delete the song files separately. Faster & easier to do on the computer, rather than using the built-in DELETE SONG.

  In the future, or now for next year, consider placing your entire collection of Christmas on a micro-SD card. A 2 GB card should be sufficient. They are really in-expensive now. I have about 20-30 CD (didn't count them) for a total of 324 songs ripped at 256 Kbps on one. 17 hours of holiday tunes. And if you create a .m3u playlist, it will be stored in the folder MUSIC (or root) of the card, so it will appear on your drive when you insert the card. And he won't be there when the card came out. Just remember where you saved the map in a year.

  Alternatively, you can also rename the TYPE field in the seasonal "Christmas" songs ID3 tags and then just play like this when the season rolls again. Did the same thing as a selection. And it's very simple to do in MP3Tag.

• Using (Playlists) SD Card in MSC Mode

  Hello;

  In MSC Mode, Clip + and another removable drive to the SD card, as separate drives.  So if I were on a SD card, how would create playlists (m3u) which contain music of these two drives?  When connected to a computer, it is available drive letters; When it is not the case, however, there is no drive letters.  Therefore, I don't see how it can be "seemless" as someone mentioned.  I would use the MTP Mode, but I prefer not to as it is not flexible.

  Any thoughts?

  In fact, you have a few questions here that need some explanation:

  1. Playlists m3u will be read & play songs of either of the reader memory internal or card SD, but not both. PLA format playlists is going play songs from two sources of memory. Personally, I use Winamp and MSC mode to create playlists .m3u. Then, I use a conversion program to convert the .m3u playlist a .pla one. This works. There are other means. I tell you, just the way that works for me.
  2. Reading 'Transparent', as has been mentioned here refers to the Clip + (or any player with a slot for SD card Sansa) and the fact that the player creates a database containing the songs of two memory locations using the information in the ID3 tags embedded in the files of the song and when 'Play All' (with or without the shuffle) is selected , will play files regardless of the location of the memory. Playlists are a different story (as explained in #1). The only difference is that if you use the folder view (in the menu music).
  3. MSC mode will allow your computer to see your player that separate the 2 discs, the internal memory and the card slot (if a card is inserted in time or not). Your computer sees your device in MTP mode as a single device requiring 'management' and does not assign a drive letter. You can still access two internal & external memories, but it is a "virtual". Also note that your computer can only see the songs in 1 mode at a time, so it is best to figure out which is best for you depending on how you plan to use the drive and all that transfer you the content in this mode 1.

  I am with you and a guy MSC through & through. PSG has its purposes (content DRM such as Rhapsody, etc.) and the fans, but MSC you gives the user much more control and is easier all around.

• Problems with playlists on Clip +.

  Hello

  I am having some problems with the creation of playlists on the Sansa Clip + (4GB).  I have some MP3 files on the internal memory and I have no problem with the creation of playlists for these files.  But I have also some MP3 on my 8 GB MicroSD card (made by SanDisk, by the way) and I was not able to create playlists for these files.

  Let me clarify; I can create playlists for MP3 on the MicroSD card, but no matter where I store these playlists (internal memory or the card itself) I have problems.  If I store playlists on the internal memory of the content of these playlists disappears if I unplug the card.  Playlists are still there, but they are empty.  If I store those playlists on the MicroSD card (where are the MP3 files) and later to unplug the card, the playlists are transformed into something completely different.  The file names are replaced by something starting with a whole bunch of numbers and the playlists are not recognizable.

  I am also having the same problem when I copy MP3s directly on the MicroSD card - the names are changed and there are a bunch of unnecessary additional files added.  The problem gets worse if I put the music in the files on the MicroSD card.  At least if they are all in the same folder that I can get rid of unnecessary files.

  I should probably mention that I do not use the crazy method they recommend manual synchronization of the user with Windows Media Player.  It takes too long and it's too complicated.  Instead, I just select the songs I want in any playlist special (I copied on my micro SD my PC card) and make a right click on any of the selected files and a context menu appears and gives you the ability to create a Playlist - (in Windows XP SP3).

  It works very well on the internal memory.  This is how I did it on my regular Sansa Clip and it worked without any problem at all.  But it will not work with any files on my MicroSD card.  I did something wrong?  Or is my card MicroSD does not work properly?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Well, I solved the problem I've been create permanent playlists for MP3 stored on my MicroSD card.

  What I've discovered, is that the new Clip + doesn't seem to like the playlists created in Windows Explorer (i.e.; Choose the songs / right click / Choose "create Playlists) with the extension of file .pla .»

  Which works very well for any MP3 stored on the internal memory, but not for files stored on the card.

  I use a free program called Playlist Creator 3.6 to create playlists in .m3u format.  This is the format that works for MP3 files on the MicroSD card.

  I make selections in the folder my music is stored On MY PC - then I copy this .m3u playlist folder On THE MicroSD CARD where my MP3s are (those of the playlist I just created).

  You need to copy the list of reading in the same folder that your music is (on the map).  As long as the MP3 in the same folder as the .m3u playlist - the playlist will find them.

  Now, the playlist seems to be empty if you try to open them in Windows, but don't worry-there is work.  The info is still there.  And playlists keep the info and the names you give them even if you remove the card and later put it again.  Hope it will be useful to someone else.

• Playlists with Media Monkey

  Hello

  Can someone help me? Spent a lot of time create playlists in Media Monkey. Then exported them my rocket (8 GB). But now it seems that the rocket doesn't recognize them. I selected playlists in the music option, and then click the name. I expect a lot of time, thought it froze, but nothing is really happening!

  HELPPP! What I am doing wrong?

  I just did one in MM.  I did not have any playlists really.   I did a few before, but not really.

  Plug the "rocket" in MSC mode

  Choose the songs you want, right click on them.

  Choose send to.

  Choose the Playlist

  Choose your playlist (or new Playlist and name).

  .... Repeat for all the songs you want.

  When you are finished go to the playlist on the left section.

  Right click on the playlist you want.

  Choose send to

  Click the .m3u Playlist

  Choose the folder (I choose my card)

  Save (you will need to rename here)

  He puts it out there.  At least it did for me.
