SyncTunes provides many options for customising where tracks will be copied to:- the destination folder

SyncTunes can support this.Your device supports m3u or pls playlists?
SyncTunes will create them for you:- standard or extended M3U or PLS format
- absolute or relative file paths
- optional album playlists
Your device doesn't support the original file format, or you want to change the format settings?
SyncTunes can ignore or convert the tracks while it copies them to the device/card.Your device doesn't like Mac OS X's hidden files?
SyncTunes will remove .DS_Store and ._ files from the folders it uses.You have a player which doesn't support folders etc?
For basic audio players, SyncTunes has a 'Simple' mode for quickly overriding destination folder settings and will copy just the playlist tracks to the device's/card's top-level folder (and convert formats if you want).Notes:
¹Podcasts will always be place in the 'podcasts' subfolder unless they are part of the selected playlist
