Import/Export Playlists
AnsweredAfter using Bluesound for some months now I have an important request.
Make and option to import/export the playlists!
My setup is that I have library on a NAS with playlists up to 2500 songs.
In Bluesound I can only create/edit playlists on my iPad, but it takes like forever to create a playlist that is similar to what I have in my library – even a small one with 50 tracks of misc. artists/tracks is a time consuming task. And honestly, editing playlists on a real computer instead of a touch device is more productive.
All my playlists is Windows Media Player format and I have several times before written small scripts to modify the playlists to match misc. MP3 players.
However, doing a backup of the playlist only return an unreadable format – it’s not a flat text file.
Please make an option import/export playlists in flat textfile format – then we can make the required changes ourselves.
Make with it with 'no support' if you are afraid of getting too many requests for support.
We just need this feature!
Thanks :-).

+1. This is a 'must have' feature. I am considering purchasing some Bluesound Pulse units but without this feature this is non-starter. The whole point here is to share music and playlists between my 4 family members. If we have to create our own playlists on iPad/iPhone then this is slow, cumbersome and does not promote easy sharing. The ability to import M3U playlists (and export created playlists as M3U files) is essential. I do hope this is a feature that will appear soon; until then I cannot commit to a purchase :-(

This is critical for me as well. The Bluesound UI is cumbersome to recreate all of my playlists. In my view the IOS and Windows APP needs a lot of work. Granted these are first release versions but it is a shame to have great hardware and then the front end user experience does not match the engineering of the hardware

Hi Gordon
This is a bit of an older thread. M3U Playlist importing was introduced in later 2015. This past spring iTunes Playlist imports was added. If you are having problems with Playlists being imported during the Rebuild Index process, please select Help, Send Support Request so we may review your Player's log file.
