Re: [slimp3-users] Playlist conversion?

Hi Steve,

The playlist importer in the SLIMP3 server should be able to handle  
"file:" URLs just fine, so you'd just need to fix the path to the  
iTunes Music portion of your playlists to point at the new volume.  Try  
replacing every instance of:

file://localhost/Volumes/Media%202/

with

file:///F/

and see how that works.

One note:  If you had some funny characters in some of the file names  
that aren't supported in the PC file system, you may have to do some  
additional fixing if you find some file paths broken.
