NB: If your Storm Doesn't show up in Windows Explorer, then you will need to run a Utility that makes it so, there are a couple around and are probably linked to somewhere on this site. There's nothing smart or ground breaking here, it just parses the WMP Playlist and creates the Storm Playlist text to save to a file. If the Phone is connected, you can save directly to your phones music folder.Īs I don't have enough posts yet, I can't post the link but PM me and I'll pass it on to you. #MEDIAMONKEY PLAYLIST EXPORT PC#If not connected, you will have to save the converted playlist to your PC for later transfer to your phone. You can use the utility with your phone connected or not. If your BB music is set up to mirror your PC music i.e.\Music Folder\Artist\Album\Track.mp3 the utility will work for you. However, I had trouble getting my WMP playlists onto my Storm and in the end gave up and wrote a small utility that takes a WMP Playlist and converts it to the format that the Storm likes. SO much simpler to use WMP to create your playlist. Oh, and I had to intentionally misspell the word "Idoit" because the CB forum was replacing it with asterisks.Ĭreating a Playlist using the Storm is a Pain in the A**. This may be somewhat confusing.good luck! For what it's worth, I use a standard naming convention of "Artist - Album", or something like "Artist - Favs" for a favorites mix. You can name the playlists whatever you like. #EXTINF:285,Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends #EXTINF:213,Green Day - Extraordinary Girl #EXTINF:205,Green Day - Give Me Novacaine #EXTINF:162,Green Day - Are We the Waiting #EXTINF:260,Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams #EXTINF:548,Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia When using this format, you have to place the m3u file in the same folder as the mp3 files referenced (in this case "\Blackberry\music\Green Day\American Idoit"), otherwise the media player won't be able to locate the mp3s and the playlist will indicate "no files" in the media player. You could also use actual unedited m3u files directly (example below). The preceding "." before the folder\file path is important as it indicates the parent folder to the media player, where the m3u file is located, in this case "\Blackberry\music". Notice the ".\Artist\Album\filename" path resolution to guide the media player to the file location. \Green Day\American Idoit\Whatsername.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Homecoming.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Wake Me Up When September Ends.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Letterbomb.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Extraordinary Girl.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\She's a Rebel.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Give Me Novacaine.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Are We the Waiting.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Boulevard Of Broken Dreams.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\Jesus Of Suburbia.mp3 \Green Day\American Idoit\American Idoit.mp3 Below is an example of the contents of an m3u that would work for music located in the "\Blackberry\music\Green Day\American Idoit" folder. I edit the m3u to the format shown below (aided by Media Monkey) and copy it to the root of the music folder (\Blackberry\music). The BB media player will recognize it from anywhere on the media card - whether the BB media player correctly lists the contents depends on the m3u format and the location of the m3u relative to the files it references. You should be able to create an m3u playlist on most popular media players (Windows Media Player, MediaMonkey, iTunes, WinAmp, etc.), export it, and copy it over to your BB in mass storage mode.
