Title:
  Drag and drop of playlist on external device doesn't do anything

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  Use case: I have a Sansa Clip that I use as a portable media player. I
  want to create a playlist (either pls or m3u) on my desktop computer
  and  transfer it to my device by dragging my newly created playlist
  and dropping it to my Sansa Clip device.

  Expected results: Rhythmbox populates my portable media player with
  the songs in my playlist, and copies over the playlist to the device
  reformatting it using relative links so it properly links to the music
  files on my device.

  Actual result: Can't drag and drop playlists to music device (this
  appears to be unsupported).

  Work around: The only way I've found to make a playlist on my portable
  mp3 player, is by creating a new directory on my desktop computer,
  dragging all the files I want copied over to that directory, creating
  a playlist of that directory using something like easytag (making sure
  it uses relative paths), opening that playlist with rhythmbox to
  arrange the songs in the order I want them, then copying that
  directory (which includes my playlist to my Sansa Clip. A lot of
  work!!!
