[08:29] <eol-prob> hello, is there any chance to upgrade my xubuntu after its eol? i still have 22.10 on my machine.
[16:30] <xu-irc41w> where would i have to go to get help with rhythmbox?  i'm tired of having to manually edit m3u playlists for my sansa clip
[16:31] <xu-irc41w> it doesn't export in m3u by default and has no options for enabling that
[16:44] <xu-irc41w> seriously trying to get this to work on it's own has been a bit of a pain
[16:44] <xu-irc41w> i miss the ipod sometimes
[16:49] <torv> xu-irc41w: Try `#gnome-rhythmbox`. (via `apt show` and https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox)
[16:54] <torv> xu-irc41w: Also there is a "Playlists import/export" plugin: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox/Plugins/ThirdParty#Playlists_import.2Fexport
[17:01] <xu-irc41w> yikes that plugin is a decade old
[18:10] <xu-irc41w> i'm very much a linux noob here so i need something somewhat dummy proof
[18:17] <xangua> Search a software that fits your needs
[18:18] <xangua> Don't know about my lists, I just use VLC for both audio and video
[18:19] <xu-irc41w> yeah but does vlc actually manage the library and sync mp3 players?
[18:19] <xu-irc41w> i mean an easier solution would be a way to convert the pls files to m3u
[18:19] <xu-irc41w> i tried vlc for that but the code is all gummed up and i think the end of line is wrong
[18:19] <xu-irc41w> i can post an example of what i'm talking about
[18:22] <xu-irc41w> file:///media/andrew/Sport%20Go/Music/eccodroid/far%20beyond%20logic/07%20-%20midnight%20at%20neo%20tokyo.mp3
[18:23] <xangua> Oh you want to sync?
[18:23] <xu-irc41w> yes i do
[18:24] <xu-irc41w> i have had to use notepadqq to manually edit the exported m3u files from rhythmbox to fit the directory structure and windows end of line.
[18:24] <xu-irc41w> it does not copy m3u files to the player by default
[18:24] <xangua> Maybe something like strawberry (fork of clementine) will do better
[18:24] <xu-irc41w> you have to export m3u files manually and edit them to use relative filepaths
[19:35] <xu-irc41w> is there a method to automate the process of modifying the m3u files?
[21:19] <torv> xu-irc41w: I can personally second Clementine.
[21:19] <torv> xangua: Thanks for pointing to Strawberry. Interesting.
[21:22] <torv> xu-irc41w: E.g. shell scripts are great to automate. You could then make use of `sed` to replace paths.
[21:22] <xu-irc41w> clementine doesn't seem to have a way to browse the playlists already present on a device
