#PLAYLIST EXPORT WORK WITH SANDISK CLIPJAM MAC#

I can guess my Clip Sport will not be able to convert the location of these files on my Mac to my desired Music subfolders on my player (internal OR external). “/Users/MacMini-2/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/VARIOUS ARTISTS/” etc etc etc The iTunes m3u file includes the specific directory locations of all the listed music files in my iTunes library on my harddrive. I immediately discovered one problem with pasting this m3u file into my Clip Sport. Then I looked at the contents of the m3u file using “TextEdit”. But the thrifty price comes with a few challenges.Īnyways, I just experimented with exporting one of my iTunes Playlists to a “m3u” file on my MacMini. I think it is a pleasant-sounding & fun alternative player to the way more expensive iPad Nano. Really sorry to read that you are unhappy with your Clip Sport. See this link for some helpful screen captures Then I can use Music mode or Card mode on my Clip player to select the playlist and listen to music files across all the subfolders. Then I use 'Media -> Save Playlist to file -.> Save as “abc123.m3u” and save the new playlist in any one of the Music subfolders on my Clip player. (Cannot combine internal memory and micro SD card sources in the same playlist.) Then I use VLC Media Player to load the mp3 files on my Clip player into the VLC playlist window.

Then I copy my selected mp3 files from my Mac into the various Music subfolders on my Clip Sport

Then I formatted the card and exported the music files and the playlist file again. I went back through every song and album title contained in the playlist and removed all of the following special characters: ? # / When I open the playlist on my Clip Sport, it simply says “Empty”. (This folder shows up as Music when viewed in the Finder on my Mac but it is labeled as Songs in the menu structure on the Clip Sport.) I placed this file in a folder, along with all of the MP3 and AAC files for the songs that the playlist references, in the same folder and then I placed that folder in the Music folder on the card.

I used the File>Library>Export Playlist command to export my desired playlist as a. But I simply cannot get a playlist to work with this device. They play fine and the info tags show up fine. I placed a MicroSD card in it and loaded it up with MP3 and AAC (.m4a) music files.
