Have you ever bothered to export your music from one computer to another or transfer song files and playlist information to another application? The playlist export and import functions can also be used to move a playlist from your iOS device to your PC's iTunes library.
I am having problems using VLC Media Player on my MacMini to create m3u playlists that work on my Clip Sport. I decided to try the freeware software “mp3tag”. The website includes a version that is specifically prepared for OSX users using “WineBottler”. This special version allows running the Windows version of mp3tag under OS X through a program called Wine. This has the side-effect. Click File- Create Playlist File Select a destination folder in the micro SD card, input a file name, and select 'M3UFile' as the save type. After that, click Save to save the playlist. (The playlist can be placed at any place onthe micro SD card.).

Part 2:How to Export iTunes Playlist Using Drag and Drop?
On the subject of transferring songs out of iTunes, song files can be selected, dragged and dropped from iTunes to a Windows OS or Mac window and copied to a destination folder, which is a much easier method. Nevertheless, the drag and drop method does not create an “M3U” playlist file format unlike the iTunes Export. The drag and drop is useful for shorter song playlists. Creating folders help to organize song files.
Below are the steps to guide on how to drag and drop iTunes playlist in to a folder.
Step 1: Click the 'File' in iTunes. Then click “New” > “Playlist Folder”.
Step 2: Rename the Folder and return.
Step 3: To add items to the folder; drag and drop playlists or other folders into the new playlist folder.
To move a folder out of another folder, drag the folder towards the left edge of the iTunes window.
