As I documented in bug 631829, playlist creation on portable devices is not at all useful. I am using RB 0.13.1 so I doubt that even moving to the development version in git will help here.
On my portable device, which wants an M3U format, and playlists put into the /Playlist folder on the device, I have populated my .is_audio_player file with: audio_folders=Music folder_depth=2 output_formats=application/ogg,audio/mpeg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/x- wav,audio/aac,audio/flac playlist_path=Playlists playlist_formats=audio/x-mpegurl When I create a new playlist on my device in RB and then add some songs from the list of music on the device I get an .m3u file in /Playlists on my device with the following content: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:,Situation (US 12" mix) file:///media/ARCHOS5/Music/Yazoo/Only%20Yazoo:%20The%20Best%20Of/12%20- %20Situation%20(US%2012%22%20mix).mp3 #EXTINF:,Don't Go (Todd Terry Freeze mix) file:///media/ARCHOS5/Music/Yazoo/Only%20Yazoo:%20The%20Best%20Of/13%20- %20Don't%20Go%20(Todd%20Terry%20Freeze%20mix).mp3 #EXTINF:,Goodbye '70s file:///media/ARCHOS5/Music/Yazoo/Reconnected%20Live%20(disc%201)/07%20- %20Goodbye%20'70s.mp3 #EXTINF:,Ænema file:///media/ARCHOS5/Music/Tool/%C3%86nima/13%20-%20%C3%86nema.mp3 Considering that the device is mounted at file:///media/Archos5, this playlist will work when played in RB when the device is connected, but my goal here is to create a playlist that the device itself can use to play music while the device is not connected to the computer. Of course, those fully qualified paths are useless to the device's playlist parser. Additionally, my device cannot use the URL format of filenames and the URL format does not really lend itself to portable relative paths anyway, so it seems like a poor choice given the alternate possibilities.
