windows playlists (and play count and ratings) into iTunes

[mettling]

I can't seem to figure out how to get my winamp playlists into iTunes.
Dragging and dropping or importing the m3u or pls file into iTunes duplicates the song listing and creates a mess of problems with some of the songs losing their file references.

I'd also love to import my ratings and play counts, too, but I imagine that's asking tooooo much.

Thanks

First, Welcome to the lounge. Glad you decided to hoin the iPod crowd.

Next, I believe your problem is the fact that iTunes will not take the .m3u files. You will have to convert them to .mp3 or .aac files first. There is a WinAmp plug-in for the iPod here: http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29241

You can also check at: http://www.versiontracker.com they have software you can download and use to convert the files.

Maybe someone else will post another workaround to your problem. Enjoy the lounge.

Welcome! I pod. U Pod. We Pod.

I don't have an answer to your m3u playlists problem but I know that it is not currently possible to import ratings and playcounts (from iPod or other) into iTunes.
