Premise Got an Android phone and chucking iTunes

[samgreco]

So I have converted my music library to WMA lossless, which is where I started years ago. The one thing (and likely the only thing) I will miss from iTunes & Premise is the ability to create playlists and import them using John's wonderful tool.

Is there any other way that you guys are using to get playlists into Premise from external sourrces?

Have you tried doubletwist?

I got DoubleTwist with the phone and it's fine. But I meant how to create playlists outside of Premise and then bring them in. Playlists for the phone are the easy part.

So as much as I hated iTunes, I could create playlists in it in all kinds of ways and then use John in VA's excellent little app to import those into Premise. As long as I used UNC instead of drive letters. Can Premise import m3u playlists? Never seen that anywhere.

I haven't seen anything out of the box - I did look at bit today, but it's not apparent to me how to do that quickly.

Sam - have you tried the minibrowser on your Android phone? I'm curious whether its does the same weird multi web session creation that I have seen on my Android tablet...

I have not. But I will try and do it this weekend if I can.

Thanks, Sam...it drives me nutz - not sure if it's some code I mod'd that causes it or what...

I am making progress on streaming. I can now play music from within the minbrowser. I used a combination of brilliant coding

, javascript, and the Yahoo music player.
Once I get navigation to work and the images squared away, I'll post it....streaming doesnt work, so far, on the Windows Phone 7, but not really a show stopper...
