Default iTunes to SD card?

Can someone helps an old turntable era guy, lol, copy an iTunes playlist to a SD card. I want to use the SD card in the B&O, but cannot seem to successfully copy the playlist over to the card,

Appreciate any help and really love the new Q5. I had only driven a 2.0, and the 3,0 surpasses my expectations.

You will need to access the itune files

1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Locate your iTunes folder:
By default, the iTunes folder is located in:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\

A couple of posts about doing playlists from iTunes:

Pretty much you'd be modifying the .m3u to have relative paths to the music (seems like iTunes saves the full path, so the music wouldn't be found on the SD card), and if you're on a Mac then ensuring Windows line breaks.

Thanks guys. I'll try to muddle my through the instructions.

I've been a Mac user for a few years, but never get too fancy with what I do.

Might try MMITunes, sounds like that may be just what you'd want (app to put on your Mac and create playlists from your iTunes music for going on the SD card). Never used it (or heard of it before a second ago when searching), but seems worth giving a shot.

Good luck!

Thanks idale!

The MMITunes worked great for me. I can drag and drop iTune songs (multiples also) from iTunes to the SD card.
