Here's a good one for Google Play specialists. How do I copy a Winamp playlist to Google Play? Can anyone point me at a simple recipe? A quick search turned up some youtube vids and some descriptions that sounded horrible and awkward involving going via Windows Media player.
Search both in Google and Google plus was effectively useless as it just wanted to promote Winamp for Android or it was full of spam for keycodes to Winamp Pro.
or this?

ps. Really hate youtube tutorials. Why can't I just have a text blog!
ps2. Music Manager doesn;t seem to be able to do much intelligent matching, instead uploading the whole of every track. Maybe that's my obscure taste in 5 minutes old music getting the better of me!
.m3u is a fairly widely supported format understood by pretty much everything. Music Manager should just support it directly.
I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that Music is yet another Google work in progress. It may eventually be ok and usable, but right now there's too many gotchas and unfinished or missing function.
[1]Looking at the tracks, I think 1000 is a playlist limitation. It's just chopped the list round about "D" in artist order.
This is very unfortunate because I use the phone for milonga DJing, and order of songs, tandas and cortinas is crucial. I have several years of different performances (each a .m3u list) and it is crazy that I can't import them or export them from the phone.
Also, the ones I put in the device don't appear in browser google play music. but the browser ones are shown in the device...
Lots of brokenness, I guess I'll have to find a different player for the phone. Google is doing more and more evil in the last years, I guess we need to get used to it.
And a year later from this post, there's still no way to upload a playlist. The new web interfaces for uploading don't recognise .pls or .m3u. And Music Manager still doesn't.
Enter GPM - perfect - it lets me untether from my FLAC external HDD when I'm mobile with my laptop, but I was shocked to see it doesn't handle .m3u playlists.

^ sad that this was posted 2 and half years ago and looks to be largely true now.
