As in, it may or may not work. The lists are just that and the files not imported means just that. The mp3 files are not where they used to be.
Now that we know this is not something the iPod wasn't made to do you can google about IRIP and see if it does any better.
Hi,
I appreciate if anyone has a solution for this:
My laptop (Lenovo) crashed and I had to reinstall Windows (Win 10). I have lots of Playlists on my iPod Nano. I also have the music files (mp3) on my laptop's hard disk. I have difficulty to recreate the playlists on iTunes... I have Googled and even talked to Apple Support but no success !!
I have exported the Playlists (tried both as .txt & as .XML) from the iPod to my PC; but when I try to import the Playlists to iTunes, I get an error saying "some files were not imported because they were not found". I have watched many YouTube videos, but none of them helped!
I'd be grateful if anyone has a solution!!
Thanks a lot!
