Playlist Converter
Sorry if this has already been covered but I have done a couple of searches and couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know a way of converting m3u play lists from Media Monkey to .pla so they will work on my S10? I am just starting to get into the sync thing and would love to be able to have some play lists. Thanks for any assistance Cheers Cameron |

Try this out: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...read.php?t=537
It was posted by a Sansa user but it might help you. |

Thanks for the reply.
I tried this software and while it creates .pla files my S10 wont recognise them properly and says that the file is empty. Does anyone else have any ideas about how I can convert my .m3u playlists into a .pla one that can be used on my S10. Cheers Cameron |

For those of you interested, I happened to stumble upon ljconvert on the mistic river website... its a great program and I do not know why it didn't show up earlier in my searches...
I now have playlists that work on my S10 and life is good. Thanks for your help |

Cameron,
Have you worked out a way of getting ljconvert to delete the source file after it has created the target file rather than having to do it manually. My steps (cumbersome) are: 1. create playlist as m3u in mediamonkey 2. send playlist to s10 using mediamonkey 3. use ljconvert to recreate playlist as pla 4. manually delete the m3u file from the playlist folder of the s10. Ideally I'd like there to be an option in ljconvert to delete the source file |

Unfortunately that is basically the same procedure that I am currently using (have you set media monkey to save the playlist to the S10 automatically?).
I am just glad that I can get the play lists to work... but it would be good to have it automated... |

I just stumbled upon a script in media monkey that creates .pla play lists.
Does anyone know if this could be used for iriver playlists and how you would make the script work? http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10678 |

Cameron,
I tried that script out but although a .pla file is created, the s10 seems to think it's empty. Still find that ljconvert is the only one that works with the s10 PS you can write a script in mediamonkey to use ljconvert in command line mode to automatically convert the m3u file to pla once you've sent it to the s10 playlist folder. However, you'll still manually need to delete the m3u file from the s10 playlist folder. Happy to help with that script |

Some help with the script would be great.
It would be nice to be able to plug in the S10 and be able to press a button and then walk away with both my music and play lists... (even if I will have to still delete the m3u files) Cheers Cameron |
