Much easier than you would think to import your fave musical playlists from iTunes onto your T-Mobile G1, without breaking (much of) a sweat. You do however, need a PC/Mac to get going, and it is a bit of a homebrew solution, but it works…
1. Connect your T-Mobile G1 to the computer.
2. If a ‘Music’ folder doesn’t already exist on the memory card, create one! Calling it ‘Music’ would be a wise choice.
3. We are simply going to drag-and-drop the playlist from iTunes into the G1, so create an appropriately named playlist folder.
4. Open up iTunes, and bring up the relevant playlist.
5. Tap CTRL + A / Command + A on a Mac to select all.
6. Simply drag and drop the entire list onto the G1’s playlist folder. This moves the actual tracks, rather than the specific order of play (the order will be done in a sec!). The files will then move across to the handset.
7. Next, go back to iTunes, and right click on the playlist, and select ‘Export Song List’. Export it as an XML file, and save it to the desktop.
8. Close iTunes, and go to http://www.davidlomas.com/playlistconverter/. Here is a playlist converter!
9. Where it says ‘iTunes song list to convert,’ click Browse and select the XML we exported.
10. Click ‘Okay,’ but the newly file doesn’t get the .m3u suffix it so desperately needs, rather it just gets renamed to the first word of your song.
11. That’s okay, just rename the file to your required playlist title, and add the ‘.m3u’ suffix manually. It’ll say some jive, but it’s okay because you want an .m3u file!
12. You now have your playlist! Go back to your G1, take the .m3u and stick it in your folder! It’ll be the same songs, in the same order!
13. Enjoy your musical wonderland of iTunes playlists in your T-Mobile G1!
