Playlists are problematic because they can go anywhere. There are really two issues. One is where the playlist goes and the other is can you essentially 'relocate' the contents of the playlist. The current 'Create m3u' function is pretty dumb ... it has no options. I'll see if I can beef it up for the next release. I can't use the same mechanism employed by the Move/Copy/Symlink functions as those functions always process the tracks one at a time. That means that the relative manipulation of the paths are always consistent. However, in the case of playlists, the tracks can be from all over the place. Typically you only want to replace the 'root' of the paths. I'll come up with something 🙂

For now, I've created an action called Relocate Playlist which can be found at:

http://2manyrobots.com/actions/RelocatePlaylist.zip

The action takes the following parameters:

Variable 1 contains the full path to the existing playlist
Variable 2 contains the full path to the new playlist. (May be the same as Variable 1)
Variable 3 contains the prefix of the path to change:
eg. /Users/JohnDoe/Music/
Variable 4 contains the replacement text for Variable3
eg. /NasDrive/Tracks/

Note that to prevent false matches, both Variable 3 and 4 should end with a / character.
