ok, now I dont want to start an apple vs pc flame war, or an itunes vs media player vs winamp vs every other media player flame war either.

I have a simple problem.

I have a mac in one room with itunes on it.
I have a pc in another room with media player
they both have the same songs on them.

what I want to do is copy some playlists from the mac (itunes) over to the pc (media player).
the problem as far as I can see is that itunes will only save the playlist as xml or txt.
I cant seem to find a way of importing them into media player.

Can anyone give me a clue???

Yeah, i dont want to convert the actual music files, they are already copied onto both computers.
I only want to copy the playlists.

Its not a massive hassle, I will just recreate the playlists.

The reason I want to copy them is because my Playstation 3 which is in another room again will only stream stuff from a DLNA server, which media player is.
You have to buy software to make Itunes on the mac do that same thing.

Plus I have other things like photos and movies on the PC that I also want to stream to the playstation 3.

Errrrmm...I have a computer with a button that makes it go...besides that, you obviously have more IT nouse than I, so I'll leave it alone, it sounded like an easy question to start with. Good luck with it.

When downloading Itunes, upon completion a message appears saying "windows found a problem with itunes setup.exe. ...unknown publisher, and the digital signature is not valid."

any body know a way around this?

cheers.

Thanks Nebbsy, option two looks like the go.
