The most common problem with importing playlists created via another app is that the file paths need to be consistent between the Squeezebox Server Music Library and the playlist - so if the playlist has as the path to your music files as "\\mediaserver\site" and Squeezecenter Music Library is set up to read "C:\site\", the playlist won't work when you import it.
Squeezebox Server has no way of knowing that the paths are to the same song that is already in your library with a different file name. Luckily - there's an easy solution. A playlist is simply a text file with links to the files. If you open up the playlist in a text editor like EditPad or Notepad, and find/replace the path in the playlist from whatever it is to "C:\site\" (in the example above - you will need to work out what the file path is on your particular setup, and then do a playlist only rescan. If you run windows, I have a small script which will semi-automate the find/replace process for you. Another issue is if your playlist is set up with relative paths (i.e. the file paths start with "~" rather than the full path. Squeezebox Server needs absolute paths AFAIK (there is an open bug for this, but don't think it's yet implemented). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
